Johnson County Library is fortunate to benefit from generous support from donors who make annual gifts, attend events, and volunteer.
While every avenue of support is important and greatly appreciated, it is important to recognize donors who have made significant contributions. With this in mind, we established the Readers Circle for donors who have given $5,000 or more cumulatively over time.
These are the current members of the Readers Circle as of January 2025.
