Support JCLF
Together, we can make our community stronger, more vibrant, and more connected. Make your donation to support the critical work of the library in our community.
Libraries build community
The libraries in Grants Pass, Illinois Valley, Williams, and Wolf Creek get more foot traffic than the local post office. From toddlers to job seekers to discussion groups, our libraries are nurturing and inspiring spaces where all are welcome.
Enhancing library services
Josephine Community Library Foundation supports special programs which are beyond the reach of the library’s tax-funded operating budget.
A vision for better buildings
Working in partnership with the library district, the foundation has an inspiring vision for new library buildings in Grants Pass and Williams along with an expanded Illinois Valley branch.
