LOCATION: Wichita, Kansas GRANTEE: Wichita Public Library Foundation
The Wichita Public Library and Bike Walk Wichita joined forces to launch three walking tours that are accessed through a smartphone app. It’s all about inspiring curiosity in people about
their hometown. According to Jeff Flor of the Downtown Development Corporation, Wichita has a lot of stories to tell — be they about the drugstore sit-in during the Civil Rights movement or
the now-gone Victory Arch honoring World War I soldiers. To promote the app, library staff and volunteers participated in an open streets festival while wearing t-shirts with the message
“Ask me how to travel time.”
