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. 

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 Library Foundation is pleased to announce the formation of the

Carolyn Osgood Hannum Memorial Fund

In celebration of his wife of 71 years, and in honor of her dedication to libraries, Lou Hannum, former Mayor of Medford, and his family have created the Carolyn Osgood Hannum Memorial Fund.

The Hannum family is launching this effort with a generous donation and are asking her friends, family, Medford residents, businesses and those in other parts of the country who knew Carolyn and the Hannums to participate, donate, and honor Carolyn.

The proceeds of the fund will be used to attract Medford residents, families, youth, student and business people who may not currently use the libraries, to come in and participate in Library Services.

Jackson County Library Services provides a variety of outreach programs, and our first priority for the use of these funds is to support Outreach to Child Care.
