On Saturday, October 11, the Central Library is open to registered Heartland Book Festival attendees only. Regular services, such as hold pickups, public computers and phones, and public meeting rooms, will not be available.
Central Standard, the award-winning KCUR morning program, hosts a variety show to commemorate the one year anniversary of its inception.
Since replacing the legendary Walt Bodine Show Monday-Thursday at 10 a.m. beginning in October 2010, Central Standard host Jabulani Leffall and producer Andrea Silenzi have rapidly developed a strong, eclectic following in the area by exploring the different worlds within Kansas City.
To celebrate the year, Leffall and Silenzi invite poets, musicians, fashion designers, and comedians to discuss and perform their respective works.
