Storytelling has the power to build communities and bridge divides.
Getting to know the folks around you is a simple first step.
Through short documentary videos, we invite you to come along as we connect with our neighbors to hear their stories and explore the ways they bind our community together.
We’re Mid-Continent Public Library... and it's Nice to Meet You.
