Library materials delivered straight to your mailbox! 

HomeConnect is a free service for Johnson County Library cardholders who live in our service area but can’t visit the Library in person—whether for a temporary or long-term reason. If you’re homebound, we’ll mail Library materials directly to you. 

Note: If you live in Olathe, please apply for Olathe Library to You Delivery instead.

  1. Apply Online: Submit the HomeConnect Application

Already Enrolled? Here’s How It Works 

Requesting Items 

  • Use the Library catalog or call us at (913) 826-4600. 
  • Make sure your preferred pickup location is set to Central Resource Library. 
  • Materials will be mailed to you in reusable blue canvas bags. Delivery via Media Mail typically takes 2–10 days. 

Loan Periods & Renewals 

  • Enjoy a 5-week loan period to allow time for mail delivery and return. 
  • Items can be renewed up to 6 times, as long as no one else is waiting. 

Due Dates & Fees 

  • No late fines. 
  • You’re responsible only for lost or damaged items. 
  • If your account balance reaches $50 or more, borrowing and holds will be paused until the balance is paid. 
  • A $10 non-refundable fee is added if part of the balance has been overdue for 30+ days. Call us—we’re happy to help resolve account issues. 

Returning Items 

  • Place items back in the blue bag, flip the address label so the Library’s address shows, and leave it for your postal carrier. 
  • Please do not leave bags outside in bad weather.
