Johnson County Library has been exploring options for a potential new facility in Prairie Village, which could eventually replace the existing and outdated Corinth Library. The Library and the City of Prairie Village are currently partnering on a site design study that will help the Library determine whether moving the Corinth branch to a potential Harmon Park campus would be feasible.
Corinth Library users and residents of the surrounding areas had in-person and virtual opportunities to provide input into conceptual design options during the first half of 2024. Community feedback from those sessions indicated a preference for a campus location south of Shawnee Mission East High School in Harmon Park, between Mission Road and Delmar Street, with W. 79th Street as the southern border. On Tuesday, October 15, 2024, the community can attend a presentation covering the latest news about the Prairie Village Community Center Campus project. Learn about the preferred site and community center design concept, how public feedback impacted the process, and next steps.
