Strategic Plan 2008-2011Click here for the Library's strategic plan for 2008-2011. HistoryThe Johnston Public Library was originally organized in 1988 as a branch of the Urbandale Public Library and was located in the Johnston City Hall. On July 1, 1992, the Johnston Public Library became independent to better meet the needs of our growing community. In 1994 a campaign began to raise support and funds to build a new library building for our expanding collection and programming. The citizens of Johnston approved a bond issue to construct a 27,000 square foot state-of-the art facility. On October 6, 2001, the Johnston Public Library held its Grand Opening for the new building at our current location at 6700 Merle Hay Road.
