Kansas City Public Library: Westport Branch 118 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO 64111

"Everytime I come to this branch lately any more there always vagrants inside talking loud, or drunk or people turning a blind eye to things no one says anything this place has really went down hill bad compared to years ago"

"I went here to handle processing of my passport. They were super nice and were able to get things done within 30 minutes. Even though I was not aware of the check/money order only (who has checks these days?). Ran across the street to the post office and picked up the needed money order. Everything was filled out before going in and had all the ID required. They helped make sure everything was in order. So now I wait the 7 or 8 months before receiving my passport. All joking aside, super easy and they answered all of my questions."

"Small with a very dated feel; and not the good dated like “history and culture and character!” either. Also, who cares though, because a library isn’t intended so much for aesthetic as it is a resource for the public - plus, we have the downtown library to provide all the aesthetic of which one could dream. I love the services it provides, especially the printing - 50 pages FREE black and white, or 50 cents only for a sheet of colored printing. It’s super great being across from the post office in case you need to print a shipping label to avoid the line, etc. Security guard always making his or her presence known at the library, which is a double edged sword. Have sufficient tables and chairs."

"I went to this location to have a meeting. The library staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is clean and well lit."

"It's a nice little library; I frequent this one mostly because it's the closest to where I live. It's on the smaller side, both in terms of square footage and book selection, but you can put books on hold from other library locations and pick them up which is nice. The library staff are friendly and helpful. My only complaint about this library branch is that some of the people hanging out (especially in the back room where the tables are) are sketchy and/or disruptive sometimes. There's usually a security guard on site but sometimes I feel a little uneasy going here."
