About Third Place on Second Street:
A "third place" is an important social space where people gather and connect outside of home and work. These spaces encourage conversation, build relationships, spark new ideas, and create a sense of community. The Wichita Public Library invites you to make the library your third place through Third Place on Second Street, a program series designed to bring people together. Each event features a unique theme and activity—from board games and movies to live music and hands-on projects—offering opportunities to relax, have fun, and connect with others. Every event also includes a curated selection of library materials related to the theme, available for checkout. Come discover how the library can be your third place!
