Frequently Asked Questions

Corinth Library is the oldest building in the Johnson County Library system, at more than 60 years old. The branch opened in February 1963, was expanded in 1967 and renovated in 1986 and 2002. For decades, it has been a popular and heavily used branch, especially for its kids’ collection.

The Library’s 2015 Comprehensive Library Master Plan (PDF) identified the need for replacement of the Corinth facility. While beloved, the building now faces significant structural issues that limit practical improvements. After a careful comparison of renovation versus replacement costs, in 2024 the Library Board prioritized the replacement of Corinth Library as the Library’s next capital project.

On Wednesday, June 3, the Spring Hill Library will reopen with normal hours of operation. We will also resume filling holds and Interlibrary Loan pickups on that date.

No services will be available at De Soto Library during the closure period. Returns, holds pickup, public computers, printing and copying and access to the collection are available at our other locations across the county, including Monticello Library (22435 W 66th St., Shawnee) and Lenexa City Center Library (8778 Penrose Ln., Lenexa). Both locations feature drive-thru options for convenient materials return and holds pickup.
