Corinth Library, located at 81st and Mission Rd., was the Library’s second permanent location after Antioch Library in Merriam. The closure of Antioch in January 2024 makes Corinth now the oldest building in the Johnson County Library system, at just over 60 years old.
The branch opened in February 1963 and has been expanded once (1967) and renovated twice, in 1986 and 2002. Corinth has served as a popular and heavily-used branch (especially the Kids collection) for decades. While beloved by the community, there are significant structural issues with the existing building that limit economically justifiable and feasible improvements.
