We celebrated National Friends of Libraries Week (October 20 – 26) by presenting the winners of our annual Bookmark Design Contest! The winning illustrations will be printed as bookmarks and distributed during the year at the 14 branches of the Johnson County Library and at Friends book sales. This yearly competition celebrating the love of reading and the talent of our community has been going strong for over 30 years.

Book Donations
Do you have gently used books to donate to the Friends?
We hold Drive-up Donation Events every Saturday (except during inclement weather).
Volunteers will be available to accept your donations on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at Friends Headquarters – 8279 Melrose Dr., Lenexa, KS 66214.
Car Donations
Selling a car is good, but donating a car is better! We handle the pick-up, sale, and paperwork all for free. Plus, vehicle donations are tax-deductible. We accept cars, trucks, boats, RVs, and more and provide free pick-up.
