This Week at the Library

This week at the Library, you can join us for:



Reminder: The Johnson County Library will be closed July 4 and 5.

Walk and Read – Daily, All Week, (The library will be closed July 5 but you can still enjoy this program.)

“Take a walk and read a book.” Not normally sound advice, but that is exactly what Johnson County Library is suggesting families do this week at Gezer Park, (13251 Mission Rd, Leawood, KS) and at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park, (West 87th Street Parkway and Lackman Rd., Lenexa).   Walk and Read creates a family reading experience in the great outdoors! Families who participate will read two stories posted around the path, one going each direction. When you finish one story, you can flip around to the other side of the sign and begin the next story, which will lead you back around the path. 

Kids Summer Food Program  – Monday, July 5, 11 AM – Noon

Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas will distribute free meals for ALL children 18 & under in the Central Resource Library parking lot. Parents and caregivers welcome! No cost! No sign-up required.

Table Top Games -  Wednesday, July 7, 6 – 8 PM

Board games have brought family and friends together for years, and we are now in a golden age of game choices! Join us online to enjoy virtual games, meet new friends and have new adventures. You can feed a hungry panda in Takenoko, build a dinosaur zoo in Draftosaurus or compete for the best collection of chameleons in Coloretto. All ages welcome.
