Major Changes for Truman Library
Shutting down soon, be closed for a year with a major facelift!
https://www.kcur.org/post/truman-lib...ation#stream/0

The Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence will shut its doors on July 23 and remain closed for approximately one year while it undergoes a multimillion-dollar expansion and renovation. Its last day open to the public will be July 22.

Library Director Kurt Graham said the project would create "a more 21st-century offering" that would make the museum "more of a destination" and help meet its core purpose, which is education.

"More people in the community and more people from beyond the community will come and enjoy learning about this legacy and this incredible story of a guy who comes literally from nowhere: A farmer from Missouri rises to be the most powerful man in the world," he said.

"That will likely never happen again," Graham added. "We will never see another Harry Truman.”

To date, the Truman Library Institute has raised $23 million of a $25 million funding campaign, the institute said in a news release. Most of that — $22 million — will go toward the expansion and other renovations including a new entrance and lobby, a larger store and expanded exhibition galleries. The 3,000-square foot addition will also include a private event venue spaces for offices, archives, storage and mechanical purposes.

That leaves $3 million for educational and public programs and the library’s endowment, which will each receive $1 million.

The state of Missouri gave a $3-million appropriation to the library for the project.

"It's just an incredible vote of confidence," Graham said. "This is Missouri’s only president and we’re just so delighted that the state is coming in to help fund a look at his legacy, because it's not just for Independence or just for Kansas City, it's for all Missourians to feel proud of the fact that 'Give-'Em-Hell' Harry came from right here."

I like the Truman Library a lot. I bet they do a great job with the renovations!

They just made a big one here in West Shawnee that looks like it costs 5 million dollars.
And what's the deal with those long sticks they keep the newspapers on? I read that Truman himself threaded those things at his library before he died.

Fair enough. Didn't know it was like a museum.

Nonetheless - lots of municipalities are still spending bank on libraries and it's pointless.

Truman was an average President and a lousy businessman, but his library is pretty cool.

They are currently doing this to the Eisenhower Library in Abilene. New exhibits will open in late July and features interactive and new technology to hear Ike and Mamies story "in their own words". The Eisenhower and Truman Libraries were staples of grade school field trips.

Nothing in this statement is true. Libraries are vital to the community. They do far more than loan out books.

It really is an amazing library. A must see for history buffs.

True, you can watch pornhub or do porntube at the library. Good point.
