Are you ready to discover how art and stories intertwine?

First: read to get ready! The Kansas City Public Library has a curated booklist to help set the scene.

Second: Step into three of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art’s most immersive galleries and discover how art has served devotion, storytelling, and daily life across South and Southeast Asia.

Third: jump in with a hands-on studio session where you can create your own art, inspired by the shapes, patterns, and symbolism encountered along the way.

This is intended for those ages 4-12 and is free to attend (limited free parking will be available).

Have you heard??
Turn the Page KC is partnering with 4 local public schools this year to build family reading practices, thanks to funding by SchoolSmart KC and their Literacy for All Students initiative!!
These school include
Midtown Community School
Academy for Integrated Arts
Crossroads Academy and
Crossroads Quality Hill.

With the Family Reading KC program, every student will take home new books each month! Each of the books is connected to digital reading supports and resources on the TTPKC website. This month, the books are:
📕Our Home Kansas City
📕Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
📕Too Many Carrots

Families will be able to build their child's home library, engage in reading at home, and take part in monthly read-alouds and literacy events at school. We are so excited to help these kindergarteners and their families experience the joy of reading!

Happy International Literacy Day, Kansas City!

First celebrated in 1967, International Literacy Day is a day to promote "Literacy for people, the planet and prosperity." Literacy is a fundamental human right that unlocks other freedoms and global citizenship and we are proud to do our small part in spreading literacy to all.

Camping & Books Are The Perfect Match!!

We were so excited to partner with Wildwood Outdoor Education Center and HDR over the past year to create an inspirational library for over 800 campers to seek out adventure in the pages of a book.

Now campers of all ages can fall back in love with reading, through daily reading experiences, appealing books for all reading levels, games and activities that support language and literacy, and even a program to earn free tokens for the Book Vending Machine to take free books home with them. Even the camp counselors couldn't resist turning a few pages.

Enjoy, Wildwood campers!
