The Jackson County Library Foundation exists to help our library attain a level of excellence in facilities and services for the people of Jackson County.

To do so, we offer a variety of giving opportunities and special events.  There are many options to support the activities in the libraries - please see the 'Giving' and 'Programs' tabs in this web site for details.

The Southern Oregon Arts and Lecture Series is a literary series in which we bring reknown authors, musicians, brilliant minds and special guests to Jackson County - involving students from local high schools, community colleges and Southern Oregon University. We also work with a variety of community partners, for example associations or organizations with an interest in the topic or speaker,  who help promote the Series to their constituencies. Sponsorships, donations, grants and ticket sales support the Series, and proceeds help to fund other programs the Library Foundation supports.

We appreciate your interest in our library system and the Library Foundation. Please take a moment to look through our site, and please sign up to receive our newsletter (on this page, in the left margin toolbar). The Fall 2010 issue is now available. We'll gladly send you a copy!
