Johnston Public Library

🎉 We have something to celebrate! 🎉

The Johnston Public Library has once again earned accreditation from the State Library of Iowa—a recognition that reflects our commitment to providing exceptional library service to our community.

Accreditation recognizes excellence across every aspect of library service, from collections and programming to accessibility, customer service, facilities, and governance. It's a distinction earned through the dedication of our staff, the support of our Board of Trustees and City leadership, and the trust and enthusiasm of our community.

To everyone who visits the library, attends a program, checks out a book, asks a question, or simply makes us part of your day—thank you. You inspire us to keep learning, growing, and finding new ways to serve Johnston.

Here's to another three years of promoting discovery, inspiring creativity, and engaging our community! 💙📚

🐍 Some people bring home books from the library. Our teens brought home approximately 47 new reptile facts...and a strong desire to convince their parents they definitely need a snake.

The Robison family from Robison's Reptiles introduced us to an incredible lineup of scaly stars, shared fascinating facts, answered tons of questions, and even let everyone get up close for some unforgettable reptile selfies. 🦎📸

Thanks to the Robison family for their second reptile program at JPL—and to all the teens who proved curiosity is a lot stronger than the fear of scales.

Get up close and personal with some amazing reptiles! The Robison family will be on hand to introduce their animals and share fascinating facts about these incredible creatures. Meet the reptiles and snap a one-of-a-kind selfie with your new scaly friend! Registration appreciated. For kids entering 6th grade and up.
