At Josephine Community Library, people and ideas come together. Inside our four branches — or anywhere with an Internet connection — you’ll discover countless books and useful tools of all kinds. Best of all, our helpful staff and volunteers will make sure you find exactly what you need.
Volunteers make the library’s work possible by cataloging books and other materials, assisting patrons on the computers, hosting children’s storytimes, providing behind-the-scenes expertise, and more.
