Supporting innovation, information, ideas, and inspiration
Charitable support for Mid-Continent Public Library
Community support helps the Mid-Continent Public Library continue to enrich our citizens and communities through expanding access to innovation, information, ideas, and inspiration. Your donation allows the Library to go above and beyond to continue to meet the needs of everyone in our community. There are countless ways to support the Library, from joining Library Lovers, to attending the Legacy Luncheon, to donating to special initiatives like the Forever Book Fund.

Thank you for support this Library Giving Day!
Thanks to our caring neighbors, Library Giving Day was a tremendous success! We raised over $30,000 to provide books to 5,000 families. Donations will allow the Reading Rocket Team to continue fostering family literacy and providing marginalized and underserved communities with meaningful library experiences. Thank you again for your kindness and for helping us transform young lives!
