Strategic direction

We are dedicated to enriching lives, inspiring learning, and fostering growth across our county with a focus on expanding access to modern library services, creating welcoming spaces, and ensuring long-term sustainability.

Enriching Lives Across Josephine County

The library programs and services enrich the lives of all community members throughout Josephine County.
Libraries are more than just buildings—they are essential community anchors, offering knowledge, information, and civic engagement. They are hubs for lifelong learning and connection to neighbors, friends, and the world.

Modern, Inspiring Facilities

New and revitalized library spaces inspire families, students, and lifelong learners to connect, grow, and thrive.
Modern, welcoming facilities allow us to deliver 21st-century library services—leveraging technology, offering ample meeting space, and creating places where ideas and people come together.

Vibrant Economic Centers

Cultivating vibrant and welcoming economic hubs is essential for the prosperity of our community. 
The new main branch in Grants Pass (6th and 7th Streets, J and K Streets) will attract visitors, stimulate downtown revitalization, and enhance walkability. By connecting the Rogue River to the vibrant blocks near G Street, this project will transform the area.

Financial Stewardship and Sustainability

The library is committed to responsible use of tax dollars and ensuring long-term sustainability. 
Good stewardship fosters independence, ensuring the library will thrive for years to come.
