Reading Round Up

Close the book on 2025 with some page-turning picks from Kansas City metro area librarians, in conversation with Kaite Stover, the Library’s director of Readers’ Services. Whether you’re looking for a cozy mystery to read by the fire or a last-minute gift, these recommendations will help.

Panelists include:

Naphtali Faris, Jannes Library at the Kansas City Art Institute

Lex Lower, Freelance Creative Educator / Game-Based Learning Specialist

Angela Strathman, Mid-Continent Public Library

Gregg Winsor, Johnson County Library

They’ll discuss some of their favorite books, offering a diverse list of titles for readers of all ages and genres, available for purchase from your preferred local bookstore or to be checked out from the Library.
