Libraries in Johnson County take steps toward reopening; Overland Park celebrates 60

The Johnson County Library, which serves the entire county, with the exception of Olathe, set a May 18 date for reopening its book drops at the Blue Valley, Lenexa City Center and Monticello branches only. Starting May 26, the drive-thru windows will open at those three branches for patrons to pick up held materials. Go to jocolibrary.org to place a hold on that book you wish you could have read during the coronavirus stay-home order. The Olathe Public Library was working on a phased plan to resume holds and checkouts by the end of May.
