Welcome to the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library
Traveling around the world is one of the most enjoyable hobbies I have. I've had many memorable adventures in Puerto Rico, Scotland, Spain, Paraguay, Canada, and various states across the U.S. When I am lacking the funds or time to travel, I utilize the library's travel resources to provide me with a temporary escape. The library has a wonderful DVD and video collection to browse through along with fascinating travel memoirs and guides. But out of all the available books and shows, I find myself revisting one particular author and TV host over and over again... Anthony Bourdain.
Adventure awaits in the library’s Travel Neighborhood, located in the east wing before the non-fiction 900’s. We have the whole world on a bookcase. The north wall of the travel neighborhood features interesting art and maps, plus check out our cool collection of travel photos submitted by people who have already used great resources in the travel neighborhood.
