The Fall 2025 Guide is here, and it’s brimming with ideas to make the most of the season. Available at all 14 Johnson County Library locations, it’s your go-to resource for programs, events, service highlights, branch news and updates from the Friends of Johnson County Library and Johnson County Library Foundation.

The cover quilt, created by local artists from Ampersand Design Studio and Tia Curtis Quilts, celebrates the people and moments that create a safe, stable and nurturing community. It is the centerpiece of an interactive exhibit at Central Resource Library (Oct. 15 to Dec. 14), part of the RaisingKC™ public health campaign, which works to prevent toxic stress in children through strong, supportive relationships.

Pick up your copy at any branch or explore it online. This fall, let your Library be the place where inspiration finds you.
