Prospero's Books: what do users think?
L: An absolutely adorable bookstore. I've gone multiple times and the staff is friendly and helpful. They have a wide selection of books, I definitely recommend going.
Max Taylor: Awesome book shop with a vintage flair. Owner is super friendly. Wife traded a whole bunch of her already read books and picked up some new ones. Nice to see places like this still exist.
ana rivera: Super cool place to visit. 3 floors full of all kind of books, I love the basement floor, they have solace for you to sit and enjoy a book. Cool decorations that accent the place. Third floor have has a nice view. And also has a psychics that reads your hand if you are into those things. Overall super cool place.
Justin Stawarz: This is the best book store there is. Three stories of floor to ceiling books. You never know what you'll find and it changes every day. They give great rates on trade ins and the owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. They're a KC institution, heavily invested in their community. You're not likely to find book sellers like this anywhere else.
Ana O.: Amazing 3-story boom store! I was overwhelmed with so many books! I loved all the messages written and the creaks made from ppl walking on the main floor. Good priced books.
David Goode: It's a fun book shop experience.
Kelsey DeHart: Wonderful store and very cool to look through but the children’s section left much to be desired.
Daniel Langston (DaOneEyedBear): Really cheap prices, they sell & trade, also have $1 paperbacks outside the place, not bad. Good place to come and chill/read as well. Three floors of used books, comics, CDS, and movies!
REDPILL ALPHA: Great places for books
A. Williams: I love going here! Plenty of little nooks to sit and check out their books. If you can't find something, just ask! The staff is super friendly.
Elizabeth Herrman: Possibly the best and most enjoyable book store I have ever been to. The art is reason enough to go anytime!
c: Was a cool book store definitely would stop and give yourself time to look around
Melody Mccully: Let it take you into a whole world of wonder
Melissa Klaassen: Always an adventure to visit this bookstore.
Mg 0: Go here. They even have books in French (top storey).

Steven Haynes: Great place nice people
Mitch Ayers: 39th street staple.
Corrigan Drews: Amazing spot to wander and find a Book or sit and read. Go and explore.
Halev Idiomas: Lovely little bookstore. Found lots of interesting and out of print books. Ended up spending about 60 bucks and walked out with five books and a 9 dollar VHS. Pricing on the VHS was a bit extreme, but all in all a great visit.Downstairs was fantastic; I'll be back the next time I'm in the area to spend more!
Dovie Penn: My favorite book store.

Willa's Books and Vinyl: what do users think?
Frank Scott: If you live and love history, books and music lp's, this is the place to be. You will love it.
Tommy Verstraete: Small, intimate bookstore with a cool environment and a conscientious owner. 🙂When we walked in they turned on some music for us while we browsed and were ready to answer any questions we had about the books.I was impressed by being surrounded by all the history. There was a roomful of books old and new and an entire room devoted to old records and jazz memorabilia. Will definitely be coming back for more purchases. I picked out three books but had to choose one.
D. Franklin: What a great time we had in the Lord! Willa's book store in KCMO a must visit. You'll find a lot of one- of-a-kind materials. Be prepared to explore history....all history but it was the Black history content that stole the show for me. I can't wait to go back. Thanks again, to Willa's book store for hosting my cousin and featured author Mrs. Deborah Fleming 1st book signing event. It's was an awesome experience and Ms. Willa and her family are a beautiful group of blessed women ❤️This is a five star bookstore 🌟Let support our "Black" owned bookstores.
R L: Great selection of hard to find African American artists on vinyl and 78's. In addition, great conversation with a knowledgeable lady. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely return.
Tucker Porter: Lovely bookstore with a nice selection of used vinyl.
Matthew Moore: Wiila is a kind soul offering books unavailable anywhere else. I'm trying to get there again today!
Aaron Erlendsson: Willa and her store are an absolute gem - her collection spans decades of out of print books, and I didn't even get around to digging through the vast vinyl archive! For book and vinyl lovers you could spends days pouring over the lovingly curated selection of works - my favorite bookshop in KC.
Phillip McCann (Phil): Fantastic little black owned book store. The owner is very very nice.
Evan Smith: Alot of hidden gems an rare finds but it's pricey too though. One of the best african american book selections in the city.
Nathan Williams: What a great hidden gem. I thought I would pop in for a quick peek and 2.5 hours later I was totally consumed. Everything from antique classics to children's books. Willa had her jazz music playing and everything was wonderful.
Marion Williams: Always something eye catching
Nell Hull: The selection at Willa’s is incredibly well hand picked. The records are in perfect shape and the books are very fairly priced. You can find topics from the civil rights movement and current political activism to cookbooks, African history, and religion. There’s always a record playing and new stuff to look at! It’s a store you’ll want to return to time and again.
Russ Cooper: Willa had the book I was after, shipped same day and I had it two days later. Great buying experience...highly recommend! Hope to stop by personally on my next trip to KC.
Ben Schnelle: Willa has an amazing selection of records and books, plus she’s really helpful, kind, and offers great deals too
Melanie Marshall: This bookstore is a rarity! You will find all kinds of books and vinyl records! Lots of rare and collectible items ! A must see!
darth vadar skywalker: Very polite and helpful

The Kansas City Public Library: Central Library: what do users think?
Jeremy Miller: So much fun if you have kids! They loved riding it!
Cynthia: We visited from IL and had the best experience here! Specifically, the children's area. But first, the parking garage-- it is SO cool! We took quite a few pictures of that, alone. The entrance to the children's department was so neat. It's spacious, fun, clean, has a teen area, and we happened to go during their summer reading signup. We were able to sign up, even though we are from Illinois, and we got amazing prizes for reading while we were there! The library itself was a bank, so there's a lot to history. We got to see the vault (which has now converted to a little movie theater) in the basement. There's also an outdoor area/ rooftop that hosts native wildflowers. Loved, loved this library!
Roaming Tigress: What’s not to like in this incredibly large building? I am curious to know approx how many books they house? 🧐 it’s amazingly stuffed full of goodies everywhere!My two spots of interest are the rooftop - the chess ♟️ pieces were gone prob due to needing space for the movies 🍿 shown up there. And the children’s /teens library. From the bookend benches, printed tutorials to teach you checkers or chess, huge faux tree, & much more to dazzle before your eyes!!Everything is free including the movies in the vault on the lower level. Great room for fun pics! The outside is the best with the book decor & steps that look like books. Check out our local library. You will be glad you did!!Periodically they will have exhibits on the first floor on various topics.Happy reading 📖!
Mary Brown: Great information
Julie Vaughn: Beautiful old building. Was sightseeing, looking for the Bookshelf. Stopped in to view the architecture.
Greg Bem: Stopped by as a tourist. Really cool First National Bank building. Fantastic galleries and the services all look really great.
R Cusick: Do yourself a favor and plan a full day at the library. I mean it! I got stuck there in the rain when I had planned to explore much of downtown KC, and it was a blessing in disguise. I still didn't see it all, though I did check out every floor.The first floor is grand and old-fashioned. The second floor has a neat art gallery that was holding a collage exhibition. The children's section of the library is absolutely astounding. The Grand Reading Room is a lovely space--I sat in the windowseat, read, and watched the rain. I messaged a friend where I was and he mentioned a chess set on the roof. I hadn't gotten out there since it was raining, but I popped my umbrella and took a look. I'm so glad I didn't miss the rooftop terrace!All in all, this was more than enough to fill my day, and I hope to get back again soon.
J Graham: Quite chill laid back
Ruth Frank: I love libraries, and this is definitely one of my very favorites! The historical, enchanting bank building with its surprising vault theater and welcoming, helpful staff, a new treasure around every corner!! It is a fascinating museum in itself!
Avya Thomas: Beautiful!
Brian Lee: Plenty of quite space.
Delaney Lange: So much history, a beautiful building with such an interesting downstairs! This used to be a bank and there are still original fixtures from those days including a vault they've converted into a small movie theater! Very cool. Very populated with homeless people though and some scary individuals hanging out in the bathrooms
Ray Vunovich: Great place to relax and learn. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
Susan Ikazaki: The KCMO Public Library is a critical community resource. Their staff are unsung heroes. One example comes to mind: when I am using a library PC, I often observe staff members who are going above and beyond to help people who have little experience in using computers.
Gunner Meyers: Beautiful library, and friendly staff, the second floor rooftop has great views of downtown. Elevator was out when I visited and it was hard on my knees.
Brent Gieseke: Visited for Citizenship Ceremony for 2 friends.
alexander Mantilla: La lectura es cultura
Keith Nolen: Appreciated the help been a long time since I was in the main branch will go more frequent
Maya Luque: I love the KC library! My husband and I moved here for a year from Portland, Oregon. This library has been one of my favorite aspects of our time here.To start, it’s a beautiful building. I love the art gallery, the Eviction art installation, and the curation/layout of the building! From the clean bathrooms, to the comforting reading nooks, printing center, and musical events, this is my favorite library! I always feel so safe and happy here.I have truly loved my time pursuing the shelves, and am currently reading my 145th book of the year thanks to this library. Thankful for this haven of literature!
Armita: This is one of the best libraries I've visited. The design of this library is amazing. There are many elements of the book in this building. The parking garage steps are book. The garage walls are book spines. The wall of the musume is desings of the books. And the most amazing part of this library is the children's area. The entrance to the children’s area is walking into a fairy tale book. Absolutely beautiful.
Ounjanise Williams: Nice atmosphere

Kansas City Public Library: Plaza Branch: what do users think?
makayla yunker: Very bad first impression go to take my daughter on my only day off all libraries are closed and have failed to put those hours on google. So I had to drive a crying toddler 45 minutes back home because you guys can’t update your hours CORRECTLY. Worst library ever will not be returning.
Anthony James: I love the location, the peace, the quietness, and some much more about this place. I will definitely come back to visit and definitely will recommend to others.
bilohf tv: Many people in such a great place
Roame: A love a library with space and this has an abundance of it in every room. Lots of activities everywhere you look. Multiple projects and art spread throughout as well. Nice staff and also has lots of available parking.
Rick Bottoms: Great place to study if you don’t mind screaming kids, noisy patrons, or overbearing library attendants. I moved a lounge chair 10 feet to a table that had no chair and was studying for nearly two hours with headphones in, not bothering a soul when the overbearing attendant said moving furniture is not allowed. Oh, and I don’t plan on using the restroom while you’re here. The KC homeless population occupies the stalls from 0900 to a little after the noon hour to perform their ADLs.
Felisha McDougald CIC CPRM: Generally I like this library, but during COVID I have found that their general attitude is disheartening. On two seperate occasions now I have requested that they pull children's books and they have told me, though they are in stock, they have stated that it would take SEVERAL DAYS to pull to make available. Just disappointing. Updated: new amenities since COVID, and staff better trained :)
Madeleine S: Not great, and after my last visit, which was to get a new release book which was listed as available, but turns out to be completely missing this library‘s response was to just shrug their shoulders and laugh about it, like stealing was expected. I really don’t care if this place doesn’t get funding for my tax dollars because they really don’t care. The young librarian, who assisted me did not seem like someone who would’ve been interested in the book I was looking for, and he didn’t seem to care that it was missing, and it was a brand new release by the way the book was called “Spare”. So while it was upsetting, I also do not feel any angst about this place not receiving my tax dollars if this is how they handle their book reserves.
Kelly Ducklow: Love the library! Librarians are always very nice & helpful
Tejas Mallela: A public library is always a necessary institution for a civilized society. As far as libraries go, this one is fantastic. The plenty of free parking spaces is welcome. The study areas are not particularly aesthetic thought. I would enjoy more public programming and an improved interlibrary loan system.
jumka lina: I admire your work ethic and your talent
Jacqueline Anderson: Best speakers!
Elizabeth Schroder: Gorgeous facility and friendly, helpful staff. Easy, free parking is a nice bonus.
Heidi Craft: Enjoying another wonderful program at the KC Public library.
J JACKSON: Zero Stars 👎🏼What’s the point it’s always closed 😤99.9% of the calendar year it’s closed for some nonsense reason.The 3 Days of year when it’s open… it’s a Hobo Haven so that’s added bonus 😩
J Williams: This is actually the nicest branch of them all.But I digress.It is large, modern, and airy, with lots of glass and a great view. Very nice design, with a nice selection of books. BUT, Security gaurd will tell you you cant have a container/beverage, but won't tell the person across not to have a conversation on their CELL PHONE? Covid restrictions have improved it.It is such a nice location to study and get books from.
Haile Abrha: It's no surprise that the Kansas City Public Library is regarded as one of the best in the country! My only complaint is that it closes early, like 9 p.m. after covid! I hope other library systems across the country follow suit!
Kate Berryman: Parking is really a hassle here, but the resources are excellent.
Keith: Nice library. Not enough electric outlets around the tables.
Ms. Toquita Brown: They have their own parking garage. That is a plus.
Brian Huggins: Very clean and organized, great view of The Plaza area
Joel Snyder: I've walked to the Plaza Library for more than 1.5 years now and I've been able to check out several books for me to read in the 3 weeks that I have checked them out from the library. I was able to check out the newest Spike Lee movie called "The Black Clanzemen" and the Plaza Library allows the general public to check out 6 novels and 6 DVD's with my Library Card.I didn't take any photos of this Library but if you're interested in visiting the Plaza Library in the future, I would certainly recommend going to the Plaza Library!
