History of The Central Resource Library

The story of the Central Resource Library goes back to 1968 when the Central Reference Department was established at the Antioch or Headquarters Branch providing reference assistance to walk-in library users and by telephone. Two years later the Kansas Room was set up which was to serve as the core of the present-day Regional Reference and Genealogy Collections. In 1973 the Johnson County Genealogical Society agreed to house its book and periodical collection in the Kansas Room so its materials could reach a larger audience. Online resources reached the Johnson County Library in 1976 with the arrival of an early New York Times automated database and the technology to access it.

Petitioning Zone

click to enlarge petioning zone diagramPetitioners and protestors must stay inside the petitioning zone and must not interfere with patrons entering the building. This zone ensures patron safety and prevents sidewalk traffic congestion. The selected placement of the zone maximizes exposure of petitioners to patrons. Petitioners or protesters who cannot abide by these rules will be asked to leave the premises. We appreciate your cooperation. The designated petitioning zone is shaded in green in the diagram to the left. Please notice this zone is located west of the front door.
