Caregiver Resources
from the Johnson County Library
Melody Kinnamon, Consumer Health Librarian at the Johnson County
Library, has compiled a list of caregiver information, books, and websites
you don't want to miss. She can gather information about a specific
condition or disease, locate area clinics, find agencies that serve the
uninsured or underinsured, or provide a list of resources related to your
health information needs.
To contact Melody call 913-495-7587.

Telephone reference services are available at 913-495-9100, Monday through
Saturday.

The Outreach staff is available to provide resources for adults
throughout our community who are unable to visit the Library in person--
such as older adults who are temporarily or permanently homebound. For more
