Curbside Holds Pickup Begins June 2nd

We will begin curbside pickup of holds on Tuesday, June 2nd. When your holds are ready, we will call or send an email to setup an appointment. Don't have a card? Johnston and rural Polk County residents can sign up for a digital card that can be used to place holds on items for curbside pickup.

Book Returns are Open

We are now accepting returns at the library book drop and the Beaver Creek book drop. Items will be quarantined for 72 hours after they're returned; they'll stay checked-out to you during this time. Items will be backdated upon check-in.

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.
