Kansas City is the first and only UNESCO Creative City of Music in the United States.

The prestigious designation was authored by Anita Dixon-Brown, Founder and Executive Director of Creative City KC Inc. She comments, “Kansas City is internationally recognized as one of the four major development cities for the genre of Jazz.

This history won us the designation. Charlie Parker, Count Basie, and SWING made us stand out. As the only UNESCO Creative City of Music in the United States, we are opening opportunities for musicians to expand their reach, travel, record, and perform across the world through this vast network.”

Dennis Turner, Author of Powerful and Inspirational Book, "Boy From The Ditch" Celebrates National Library Week and Salutes Libraries And Their Role in Communities!

Dennis Turner, author of the inspirational memoir, "The Boy from the Ditch," will inspire and uplift you.

Turner celebrates National Library Week and salutes libraries and their role in the community. The theme for National Library Week 2023 (April 23-29, 2023) is “There's More to the Story."

Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there's so much more to the story.

Libraries of Things lend items like museum passes, games, musical instruments, and tools. Library programming brings communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes, and lectures.

Library infrastructure advances communities, providing internet and technology access, literacy skills, and support for businesses, job seekers, and entrepreneurs.

National Library Week 2023 will be a great time to tell your library’s multi-faceted story.

Turner says, "Libraries play an important role in our communities and it's important to salute them, support library workers and promote library use."
