Borrowing

Did you know you also can borrow . . .

Borrowing Periods:

Materials may be renewed, depending upon local library policies and if the material is requested by another patron. Items can be renewed at the library, by phone, or in your online account.  Patrons are responsible for returning borrowed items on time, and for any fees associated with lost, damaged or unreturned items​​.

We have books, audiobooks, DVDs, magazines, and much more available for borrowing.  

The Johnstown Public Library has not charged fines on late materials since April 2019.
