From studio to screen: Library’s virtual experiences a hit with music lovers

January 5, 2021

What’s a recording studio to do when the pandemic closes their doors? Well, if you work at the Sound+Vision studio at the Lawrence Public Library, you’ve been dabbling in all sorts of unique and obscure approaches to music. On any given day, you may find the employees of the library’s Sound+Vision studio recording “found sounds” Read More …

A lot has changed in a matter of ten days, but one thing has remained the same for The Raven Bookstore… their belief that “books can be a balm, solace, or inspiration in trying times.” Their commitment to breaking down any barriers between books and people over the last ten days has been nothing short Read More …

Winter, believe it or not, will end. Our chilly corner of the Midwest will thaw, the wind will lose its teeth, and green stuff will stretch its arms out of the muddy ground. As the climes climb in temperature, so too does Lawrence’s literary life. The writers who’ve been hibernating will emerge, the book buyers Read More …

The last month of the year is upon us, and what’s more – the last month of the decade! It’s always a good idea to end the year with lots of fun and cheer and ring in the new year in the same way you’d like to live it out. What better way to spend Read More …

You’d think Summer, and all the exciting shows that come with it, would start winding down in August. Not in LFK! Here we are, yet again, faced with a plethora of shows and no shortage of theatrics with them. There are even a couple of block parties still scheduled before the kids head back to Read More …

Trust us. You should just take the entire first week of July off. There are so many wonderful Summer activities happening outside, you shouldn’t have to choose. In fact, just about every one of our recommendations is an outdoor event (and free!). Throw on your breeziest sundress and dancing shoes, head Downtown, and don’t worry Read More …

Just like, oh, perhaps a few hundred million other people, I have long dreamed of waking up to a snowy owl tap-tap-tapping it’s beak on my window, waiting to give me a letter with these magical words inside:   “We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft Read More …
