Collaborative Instagram post between Kansas City Library and Free Public Library of Philadelphia. The post says: While our cities' football teams prepare to face off at the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Public Library and Free Library of Philadelphia have created our own friendly competition! Can KC or Philly get more community members to share something they love about their library? Comment with why you love your library, and be sure to designate your city. We'll tally the comments and announce the winner this Friday.
A comment from a user: “I love that it’s not located in Kansas City. Go birds.”
