Come experience the life and music of KC native, and pioneering composer and improviser, Charlie Parker, featured on the 1st floor of the UMKC Library, January 19 – July 30, 2021.

The Libraries are now accepting applications for the Friends of the Library Scholarship! This $1,000 scholarship opportunity is open to any active, degree-seeking UMKC student with a minimum GPA of 3.0.

Thank you for all the feedback you provided us during the Tell The Libraries survey! We wanted to share with you the results of that survey. It turns out that the UMKC Community has quite a bit in common; we’re all in this together, and the UMKC Libraries are here for you, no matter what challenges you are facing.

The collection features many publicity photos and photos of live performances of the many performers who played at this iconic Kansas City venue.
