Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday, September 18, 2021, for an evening of fun & entertainment! The Library Lets Loose is our annual signature fund-raising event. This year’s celebration was a festive, FREE, virtual & family-friendly party with program.
Stay tuned for flashbacks to some of our favorite things from this year’s program! If you weren’t able to attend, you can still make a difference by making a donation today to further the lifelong learning resources at your Library.
Our LLL Hosts
Many thanks to 2021 Library Lets Loose Honorary Hosts, longtime Library supporters Rick and Denise Mills. Rick is chief operating officer with CBIZ, and Denise is a leadership development consultant – both are voracious readers. Denise has been a passionate Library advocate for years and appeared in 2006 with then-First Lady Laura Bush and then-County Librarian Mona Carmack to accept an award recognizing JCL as one of the nation’s top Library systems.
Our amazing hosts issued a challenge to all attendees of this year’s event. They pledged to match all donations up to $25,000!
2020 Flashback
Last year, Celebrity Readers shared excerpts from some of their favorite books. Here is local KC celebrity, meterologist Gary Lezak, sharing part of his book – “It’s a Sunny Life”.
