Metrolink is part of Community Connection, a comprehensive, database of community resources and consumer information for Kansas and Missori on the World Wide Web. It can be searched by topic, keywords, service area, or proximity. In addition, it provides links to important and useful consumer information that can aid people in evaluating and choosing those resources. Metrolink is replacing the Communication Hub database of community organizations. The library will be providing training for community organizations who wish to add local information and learn to manage their information themselves.
Participants also can print resource listings, directories, asset inventories, and asset maps.
Recent programs appeal to variety of patrons. Main Branch Youth Services presented its annual African-American History program in February. Miss Helen also prepared her famous spinach stew for those in attendance. To celebrate Dr. Seuss Day in March, library staff visited schools to read. Among the schools visited were Quindaro, Banneker, Welborn and Claude Huyck.
