How are JavaScript libraries saved by the browser?

I use a library on my main site www.domain.com as such

<script src = 'lib.js'>

However, when I link out to another tab that points to ( using target = '_blank' ) 

www.domain.com/path

the library is gone and I have to reload it.

Is this expected behavior?

I thought because resources like localStroage have limits based on domain that other aspects of the environment would be domain based.

That is resources I load at www.domain.com I thought would be available at www.domain.com/path.

But this seems to not be the case.

Javascript files are only loaded for one page and need to be loaded again for every other page regardless of the domain or path.
