Our vision
Building for the future.
The library foundation seeks to ensure that library users of all ages get what they want from their library — whether it’s the latest books, a cool and comfy teen room, up-to-date computers and fast Internet, or buildings and grounds that are safe and welcoming. The foundation also provides library card scholarships to children who live outside the library district.
Working in partnership with the library district, the foundation has an inspiring vision for an expanded Illinois Valley branch and a new library building in Grants Pass. These building projects will meet the needs of our community members for decades to come. Over the next several years, we hope that local champions will help rally our communities to make this vision a reality.
