Event Details

Please join the Olathe Public Library as we celebrate Dr. King's birthday by hosting a day of service projects for local nonprofit agencies and celebrate with a storytime.

Storytime Schedule: 10 AM &  11:30 AM* (*Note: 1:00 PM was an error; the correct time is 11:30 AM. PM storytimes will be at the Downtown Library.) Mr. Tommy is the storyteller for both locations and times. 

The library will have several projects that you can help with. It is a perfect opportunity for families in Olathe to honor Dr. King's Legacy through service. 

MLK Jr. Food Drive: In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s impact, both locations of the Olathe Public Library will hold a food drive to benefit the Olathe Mayor’s Community Food Drive and feed Olathe kids this summer from January 19 - February 16. Barrels for donations will be located near the main entrances in both buildings.
