Friends of Johnson County Library: Great friends make great libraries! Great libraries make your community a great place to live!



Welcome to the Friends of Johnson County Library

Voted Outstanding Friends Group of the Year by Friends of Kansas Libraries!    

 

Friends of Johnson County Library is a member-supported nonprofit organization promoting community awareness and participation in library services. We serve as library advocates, raise supplemental funds, and promote literacy and lifelong learning. The funds we raise from your book purchases and your membership support library collection development, Summer Reading, Incarcerated Services, staff education, and much more.


 






We're Partnering with Target Circle!

We are honored and excited to announce that we have been chosen to participate in a special charitable giving campaign, sponsored and funded by Target. And you have the chance to help direct a portion of Target’s donation to us!


Now through June 30, vote for us through the Target Circle program to help determine how Target’s donation will be divvied up. Every vote counts to help us receive a portion of the available Target funds as we continue our mission to support the Johnson County Library.


Don’t forget, as you earn more votes, you can keep voting multiple times during the campaign!
