The Johnson County Library Foundation is proud to support life-long learning programs at Johnson County Library.

Library Collection Endowment Update
Like all organizations and individuals with stock market investments, our endowment has experienced losses in 2008-09. Fortunately, our Board of Directors is committed to a long-term investment strategy, which makes short-term volatility less troubling. Supporting the Foundation’s endowment is a investment in the Johnson County Library’s future. Gifts to the endowment enrich the depth and breadth of the Library’s collection.
Endowment Balance: $1,141,474.52 (9/30/09; updated quarterly)
