The building was built as a personal house in 1885 and became a library on March 9th, 1917. It has served the community ever since. Generations of local Johnson City residents have grown up with it as a permanent fixture of their community. The library building is listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places. The library has art, photographs, and artifacts from its history.
Right around the corner is the lovely CFJ Park, home to "the “Crown Jewel” of Broome County’s unique collection of six wooden carousels donated by the George F. Johnson family in the 1920′s. One of the largest remaining carousels in the country, it contains 4 rows of 72 horses. In 1993 the horses, scenic panels & rounding boards were completely restored returning them to their original beauty. In 2010 the eighteen sided, two story pavilion and cupola housing the carousel was restored." -info from https://www.villageofjc.com/
