The Johnson County Library Foundation – 2023 Library Lets Loose

The Johnson County Library Foundation’s annual Library Lets Loose was held on September 23rd at the Central Resource Library in Overland Park. The theme for this year’s event was “Libraries are Magic!” And, the evening was magical as well. With delightful bites from local restaurants and caterers, a signature “let loose juice” cocktail, and a scavenger hunt, guests enjoyed the unique party, ending with dancing to the tunes of Emcee DJ Stann. Proceeds support the enhancement of lifelong learning resources in our community.
