TENANT SPOTLIGHT

Tell us about your business.

Friends of the Johnson County Library is an award-winning 501(c)(3) non-profit group consisting of over 700 members. They exist to support the Johnson County Library System by promoting informed community interest in the Library functions, resources, services and needs. Volunteers aid branch Library staff in their regular duties, as well as assist at events and programs throughout the year. Additionally, they help raise supplementary funds by collecting community donations and hosting fundraisers that include multiple annual book sales. Fundraising also includes managing online sales and 3 book stores located in the Antioch, Blue Valley and Central Libraries.

Friends are more than just a volunteer group - they are also advocates. Through their network of dedicated Library supporters, newsletter subscribers and social media followers, they are in place to communicate when issues critical to the Johnson County Library arise.

What would surprise people about Friends of the Library?

In the early 1950's, the actual Johnson County Library was founded by the group, which was originally known as the Citizens Library Committee. Learn their detailed history here. They currently have 4 paid staff members and 125 year-round volunteers. Volunteers are a vital part of the program; for the Summer Book Sale alone, it took over 200 volunteers, 350 shifts and 3000+ hours of time and talent to be successful!

Join the Friends today! You can also sign up for their newsletter by emailing leitchc@jocolibrary.org with "SUBSCRIBE FRIENDS NEWSLETTER" in the subject line or by calling Shanta Dickerson at (913) 492-4791.

TENANT TIP

HVAC Preventative Maintenance

It's HOT outside!

The last thing any company needs is for the HVAC system to fail during the warmest time of the year.

Make sure to have an HVAC Preventative Maintenance Service Agreement in place with a qualified contractor.

Providers should be performing regularly scheduled maintenance and inspections to ensure all equipment stays in good working order. Make sure to submit all HVAC Preventative Maintenance Service contracts and inspection copies to Amy Weber .
