Throwback Thursday: White Christmas
If you were dreaming of a white Christmas, we're so sorry that it looks like that isn't going to happen. It's times like these we take comfort in looking at old-time photos. We found a white Christmas! Entitled, "Warren's Christmas tree farm buildings in winter," this photo of a snow covered farmstead is our little gift to you.
For more photos, remember, JoCoHistory is the place to time travel through local history. Happy holidays!
Find a New Holiday Favorite to Stream on Kanopy
Find something to watch this holiday that you haven't already seen a dozen times in the Festive Favorites collection from Kanopy. You could hear the story of Charles Dickens' creation of A Christmas Carol, follow young dancers as they prepare to perform in The Nutcracker, or watch classic silent films celebrating the yuletide season. Log in to Kanopy to explore »
Central Resource Library Remodel Progress
Central Resource Library is scheduled to reopen fully at 2 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2022. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the new and improved features we’re excited to welcome you back to!
Check out the slideshow to see how work has progressed over the last few months.
Our new Johnson County Library sign in front of the building welcomes visitors to our updated spaces.
Our drive-up exterior book drop will reopen with the addition of a new drive-thru holds pickup window. You’ll be able to return your materials and pick up your available holds in one spot without leaving your vehicle!
A brand-new Kids area, in the southeast corner of the building, includes bright, welcoming colors, a new storytime room (at the back of the area pictured) and large windows allowing for increased natural light and windows seats where you can page through a book or two with your little ones.
You’ll find answers to many common questions about this project in our Construction FAQ, which also features a Fly-Through video rendering of the project. We’re looking forward to welcoming you back to a fully open Central!
