Johnson County Kansas

Established in 1963, Older Americans Month is celebrated every May.

Johnson County Library patrons checking out books, DVDs or other materials from any of our 14 branches no longer have to worry about the assessment of a fine for items returned after their due date. In addition, existing overdue fines have been removed from most patron accounts.

Remaining active is the key to wellbeing and independence, especially as our bodies age.

Sanitary sewers protect public health and the environment. They carry wastewater flows from sinks, dishwashers, showers, washing machines, toilets and industrial sources via underground pipes to a wastewater treatment plant.

During the month of April, we take a moment to celebrate those who make an impact in our community, volunteers. Not only is April National Volunteer Month, but the week of April 16–22, 2023, is recognized as National Volunteer Week.

Johnson County needs to partner with landlords or property managers to meet their goal of 30 units (1–3 bedrooms) utilizing Emergency Housing Vouchers by September 30, 2023. Not meeting this goal could mean losing these vouchers.

Johnson County Library started in the early 1950s in the homes of local families, schools and businesses, including a plumber and a barbershop! Our first official branch, Antioch Library, opened in 1956 off Shawnee Mission Parkway.
