The Johnson City Public Library is a testament to the volunteer spirit of a small group of women who saw the need to share information. The Monday Club was founded in 1895 with the purpose of promoting the study of art, history and literature. When the town's 20 members started acquiring reference books, they sought a facility in which to house them. They started a subscription-based library and paid one of the members to be the librarian. The library has moved several times but now has its own premises, is computerized and circulates half a million items per annum. It has meeting rooms for hire and several outreach programs to schools.
