The Johnstown Public Library opened in 1957 as a branch of the Newark Public Library, located in a single room of the Town Hall at the Monroe Township House.

In 1995, Mary E. Babcock provided funding to purchase land to construct a new facility. Many dedicated community members, staff and volunteers worked for nearly 10 years to find an appropriate location to build a new library.

The new Johnstown location of the Licking County Library (Mary E. Babcock Library) opened in early 2006. It includes historic artifacts and art from the community. Please visit our Local History section for details.
