A quintessential neighborhood library, the Southeast Branch attracts patrons from both the immediate and surrounding areas who visit for books and computer access and to meet others. It became the permanent home of the Kansas City Digital Media Lab in 2018, giving teens opportunities to explore 3D design, audio and video production, small electronics, and hands-on building.
