The Early 20th Century Eclectic-style Downs KS Carnegie Library has been serving as the Downs KS library since 1905. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
Blasterz enjoyed the hospitality and free wi-fi here, since there is no cell service around these parts for our cell phones and laptops to use.
The librarian here is very funny, and extra helpful to the tourists from afar! :)
