Josephine Libraries Prepare For New Life

Josephine Libraries

There's a lot of work to do at the Josephine County libraries

But for the first time in years, the future of the libraries is assured.  Voters just passed a ballot measure creating a library district and a property tax base to fund it, after years of non-profit/non-governmental library operation. 

All kinds of details have to be addressed to set up the new regime for the four libraries.  Library director Kate Lasky and new board members Pat Fahey and Laurel Samson visit the studio.
