Now in its 9th year, Library Lets Loose is your one-night-only opportunity to “let loose” for an evening at the Johnson County Library. This festive, lively, after-hours celebration and fundraiser is perfect for Library Lovers. Library Lets Loose, Johnson County Library Foundation’s signature event, will be held on September 21, 2024, so mark your calendars and don’t miss your chance to save with early-bird tickets available now until August 3.
This year takes on a new theme to weave through the night: Library Lets Loose – Top Secret: A Night of Espionage. What do spies need? Information of course. No better place to access information than a party at the Library. Just know you may need to take on a new identity, ask a lot of questions, and learn the secrets to access important information. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, will result in fun and rewards.
Event highlights
- Enjoy cocktails and delicious bites from 15 local restaurants
- Dance with Kansas City’s favorite DJ Stann
- Explore the Library while fulfilling your spy mission to win prizes

This event is the perfect opportunity for date night, book clubs, girls’ night out, or a solo guest to see the Library in a new light. Library Lets Loose is a chance for people who love the Library to come together and show their support for this valuable Johnson County agency. Funds raised enhance the Library’s programs, services, and lifelong learning resources.
