Join the Mid-Continent Public Library on Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 6:30 pm for Confronting the Straight State: The Struggle for LGBTQ Civil Rights in Kansas City with Stuart Hinds, Curator of Special Collections and Archives at UMKC Libraries, and Austin Williams, UMKC graduate director of the award-winning documentary The Ordinance Project.

Every department on the UMKC campus experienced budget cuts this year, including the University Libraries.

Check out this book display on the ground floor of Miller Nichols Library, April - June, 2021.

April 6 is National Library Workers Day, and we’d like you to join us in celebrating the incredible work that everyone in the UMKC Libraries has done in the past year.

Sometimes we are not okay. And that’s okay. Life can be challenging and exhausting. The UMKC Libraries have gathered resources and some pick-me-up items to help you through whatever is going on.

Eight Days in April: The Story of the 1968 Uprising in Kansas City draws upon historical materials from LaBudde Special Collections and Marr Sound Archives to tell the story of Kansas City, MO in the eight days surrounding the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968.
