Moving the historic Johnson Library

In 2025, the Johnson Public Library faced the rising river—and refused to let its story end there.

Join us for Moving the Historic Johnson Library, a short documentary by Dreamlike Pictures (opens in a new tab) that captures the incredible effort, teamwork, and heart it took to lift and relocate this century-old building to safety.

From steel beams to steady hands, see how our community carried its past into a new place to belong.
