Access Your Library from Home

Patrons can continue to use their library card to access e-books and downloadable-audiobooks, stream movies and TV, learn new skills, and more. Don't have a library card? While we're closed, Johnston and rural Polk County residents can sign up for a digital card to get access to online resources. Staff will be available via email to help you get started.
