The
Cohen Center for Kansas History is dedicated to preserving resources
in Kansas and inspiring research in Kansas History. The Center
is in the southeast alcove of library
and is the result of the generosity of Barton P. and Dr. Mary
Davidson Cohen of Leawood, Kansas. The Cohens' not only donated
the funds to renovate the portion of the library which is now
the Cohen Center, but also the 600+ books that currently comprise
the collection. It is the dream of the Cohens' and Barton County
Community College that these donations will provide the foundation
for an ever-growing collection and a library that is constantly
evolving as the center of information for Barton and the communities
it serves.
