Outreach is when we bring traditional Library services to your location to build relationships and connect communities with library resources. In-reach is when personalized Library services are requested for your group and occur in one of our Johnson County Library locations. An example of an In-reach service is a library tour.

Incarcerated Services
Our library services to justice-involved patrons are supported by the Johnson County Library Foundation in partnership with granting agencies. We offer incarcerated parents the opportunity to be recorded reading a book, then provide a copy of the recording and the book to the child. We offer Office Hours at the Adult Residential Center, connecting justice-involved patrons with library resource.
