Josephine Community Library and the City of Cave Junction invite community members to attend the next virtual Cave Junction City Council meeting on Monday, May 24 from 7–9 pm to learn about plans for the renovation of the Illinois Valley library branch and to offer input about meeting space, technology needs, and more.

The public library in Cave Junction has not been updated in more than 50 years, making this branch a priority in Josephine Community Library’s overall plan to modernize the libraries in Josephine County. To learn more about plans for building improvements, visit josephinelibrary.org/about-the-library/building-improvements.

Josephine Community Library is currently raising money to renovate the Illinois Valley Library branch through various efforts, including government grants and partnering with the City of Cave Junction to apply for a Community Development Block Grant.

During the virtual meeting, ZCS Engineering & Architecture will be presenting a variety of renovation options for the project to attendees, with the goal being to tailor the final plans to meet the needs and priorities of the community. Public participation and comments are encouraged.
