The Story Center at MCPL

The Story Center empowers authors, performers, and digital storytellers to create, share, and connect with stories.

Located at the Woodneath Library Center, The Story Center is a mission-enhancement program of Mid-Continent Public Library. We offer a range of free public programs, several publication options, and a collection of resources that empower people to create stories, share those stories, and connect with the stories of others. Funding for Story Center programming is provided in part by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
