Community Service also becomes an integral part of Johnson City library and we call it as Friendly Visitor Program. The essence of this program is to deliver and bring library services to Johnson City citizens who cannot go to the library due to a disability. Who is eligible in receiving Friendly Visitor service is anyone who resides in Johnson City area that does not have physical access to the library. Johnson City library volunteers will deliver books and other library materials to homebound citizens and stay for a friendly visit. For further information about this service or becoming the volunteers, please see our Friendly Visitor Application brochure and Friendly Visitor Volunteer brochure or just simply call Johnson City library.
