Public libraries are amazing, and this is a particularly wonderful branch of our own JCL system…read more The ease of holding books/DVDs (and as long as you avoid placing a hold right before/during the weekend, JCL is really impressive at transferring items from branch to branch promptly) and checking out/returning items (with the self-service checkout stations and automated return slots) makes borrowing library content a delightful, hassle-free experience. The JCL system's catalog is pretty expansive too. It's also just a nice, relaxing place to study/read when you need to kill a couple hours or get out of the house for some reason (and unlike with coffee shops, you don't have to buy anything to justify your presence there). I really can't sing JCL/Leawood Pioneer's praises highly enough.

I had never tried this particular library out before so I decided to bring my grandson and try out…read morethe children's area. I was disappointed as the smaller children's area was quite small in comparison to other libraries. They did have some nice toddler board books and the children's area in general had the normal amount of books that the other libraries typically have. The teen area is in the youth/kids area. As you enter the library, it's to the right in a separate room. I think what I find disappointing is that I have visited almost all of the libraries in Johnson County except two, which I plan to visit soon. And I find that the children's librarians tend not to be very friendly. They're usually sitting behind their desk often with a scowl on their face or hiding their face and really never offer any help. If they're approached, they seem irritated. The 95th St. library in Overland Park tends to be the better and more welcoming library for children. The adult section was typical of an adult section. So I would say this library is fine for adults or probably teens that want to study as they have steady areas, but there are better libraries for smaller children.

Linda Hall Library's community open house today has been a wonderful way to spend a blue sky sunny…read moreday! It's all free, including tacos from Taco Cacao. The day started at 9 AM with a bird hike around the Arboretum with a guide from Burroughs Audubon Society. And there have been outdoor programs from the Anita B Gorman conservation center, another all about bugs that included a hike around the grounds, and one from the Swope Park nature Center. Mow they're showing the movie the Lorax inside and there's still more going on outside. Even when there's not a special event going on, of which there are many all the time, you can find them online. They're well worth signing up for, usually free, with interesting subject matter from astronauts and outer space to well-known speakers, and small concerts on the lawn. It is a fascinating place with beautiful grounds on the UMKC campus.

What a fantastic library!…read more I've been wanting to come to the Life Beyond Earth exhibition since it opened in October 2024. I got here near the end of April in 2025. It closes in June. Glad I made it! This exhibition does a great job of covering a lot about outer space, including, but not limited to, aliens, exoplanets, UFOs, astrobiology and exobiology. There are various displays throughout the rooms covering astronomy, the history of observation of space from the Renaissance, all the way up to the Tic Tac and Gimble UAPs. There's also a very nice display about historical cookbooks and different recipes used early in the 20th century and by various branches of the US military to feed their troops. Everyone working here was very kind and welcoming. There is free parking directly in front of the library for patrons, not for students. Just FYI, the Linda Hall Library is on the campus of UMKC.

Linda Hall Library - From these photos of May 13, 2023, you might think there are still a lot of peonies blooming, but this standout was one of the few.

I've decided to update my review. I've use this library a couple of more times to check out some…read morebooks for my grandkids. I will not be going back. The whole atmosphere of this library is not friendly. I walked in the other day with a big load of books to return and two children and politely asked the customer desk person where to return the books. He said in a snarky voice, "Where it says Returns all the way in the back!" His attitude is not called for, especially while working the customer service desk. People are going to ask questions and in fact quite a few people after me asked where to bring their returns. Even though the library is newer/more modern, they do not have a good welcoming atmosphere and I noticed there doesn't seem to be that many people there every time I've gone.

very nice recently built library part of a bigger library system with many great resources…read more centrally located in merriam plaza with a drive thru book drop. there is a parking garage as part of the complex, with a path from there to the front door. nestled in the hillside it might be hard to spot at first but it is a hidden jewel of the community i think. can place any books on hold and pick them up here, as well as use library services such as free wifi and conference rooms. they have a children's area with nice colorful furniture and books to help encourage youth literacy! self-checkout machines are available to use by the entrance
