Our Board of Directors are appointed by the Johnson County Board of County Commissioners for a four-year term, and may be reappointed for an additional four-year term.

The Library Board meets the second Thursday of every month at 4 p.m. at Central Resource Library. All meetings are open to the public.

You can watch live feeds streaming a video broadcast of the meeting. Attend virtually via our YouTube Channel. Can't make it for the live stream? We also provide an archived video posted to this page.

If you wish to submit information, please email comments or statements to kangethep@jocolibrary.org before noon on the Wednesday before the Thursday Library Board meeting.
