Carnegie Library KCK

In a little place in Kansas City (the Kansas side) called Argentine, the last Carnegie library in Kansas City, Kan. as well as Mo. stands proudly. In Andrew Carnegie’s name –the famed and generous philanthropist, among other things – and by his funding, thousands upon thousands of libraries were erected internationally and filled to the brim with books and resources. The original site of this Carnegie Library opened in 1911 , but moved to 2800 Metropolitan by 1917. Today, both the collections and staff have moved branches, and the Metropolitan building belongs to the Kansas City, Kan. school district.
