INTRODUCTION
The Community Information Directory: A Directory of Resources in the Junction City Area is
a product of the Reference Department of the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library. It provides basic
contact information and descriptions for approximately three hundred agencies and organizations in
the area, from the AIDS Hotline to the Zion United Church of Christ. Entries are arranged
alphabetically by name. A list of categories precedes the entries, a list of area meeting rooms follows
them, and an index is provided at the back of the directory.
Copies of the directory are free. Print versions are available at the Dorothy Bramlage Public
Library. An online version is also available on the library’s web page: www.jclib.org. The directory
may be downloaded via Adobe Reader and printed from there.
To add a service or an organization to the Community Information Directory or to update
outdated or incorrect information for an existing entry, please contact Emily King at the Dorothy
Bramlage Public Library (785-238-4311 or emilyk@jclib.org). New entries and updates will be
immediately added or made to the web product and will appear in the next annual print edition.
Suggestions for how to make the directory more useful and user friendly are always welcome.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the creation of the directory, including all who
provided information for the content and USD 475 for its printing services. Thanks also to the
reference staff who compiled the information. It is the library’s hope that the directory will be a
beneficial product to the community.
