It's summer reading season, and my fellow KMUW book reviewer, Suzanne Perez, and I sat down to discuss the new titles we hope to read over the summer.

Plus more on these stories:

  • Kansas is putting a $3.6 million federal grant toward preventing youth suicide in Wyandotte County and southeastern Kansas.
  • Law enforcement officials held a news conference Tuesday to talk about how they will enforce a new anti-human smuggling law.
  • Neighbors want Evergy and the city of Wichita to change their plans to build a transmission line along a bike path between Hillside and Oliver.
  • The City of Wichita has amended its ordinances for placing temporary signs during an election period.
  • Kansas internet provider Craw-Kan has received a $50 million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to build out broadband infrastructure in southeastern Kansas.
  • An online dashboard has been created to track the implementation of recommended changes to the Wichita Police Department made in a recent investigative audit.
  • Professional golfers will compete beginning Thursday at the Wichita Open.
