Your Home Public Library is a historic library building located at Johnson City in Broome County, New York. It is a Late Victorian style building built as a residence in 1885 and converted for use as a library in 1917. The original section of the building is two and one half stories and constructed of brick with a stone foundation, concrete and cast stone water tables, sills, lintels, and band courses. The design features projecting and recessed pavilions, a complex multi-gabled roof, a projecting dormer, and a turret with conical roof and tall weathervane. A large wing was added in 1920. Your Home Library was developed by Harry L. Johnson, brother of George F. Johnson (1857–1948), founder of Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
