We all love it when the Library Lets Loose, and that’s just what happened at the annual fundraiser for the Johnson County Library and Library Foundation. The 10th annual affair, which featured a “Freedom to Read” theme, was held on September 20th at the Central Resource Library in Overland Park. Partygoers enjoyed delicious local fare and great entertainment. Keeping books and resources free and accessible to all is the goal, and more than 500 guests helped to achieve that.
