Touring the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, it’s clear how proud new CEO Marie Pyko is of the building, especially the youth library. “When families turn the corner, they are just so in awe,” Pyko said. “It’s the place in the building where you hear laughter and just pure joy, where you really are exploring that sense of imagination.” Designed by TSCPL staff, the children’s library was renovated from 2008 to 2013. “Every single piece in that children’s library was through the vision of our youth staff,” Pyko said. “Every single piece of paint on that wall was done by a library staff member, who hand-painted those murals. There’s a lot of heart in that space. When I turn the corner, it just makes me smile.”
