Josephine Libraries Turn To Crowdfunding For Kids

U.S. Army/Public Domain

Everybody supports kids learning to read.  But factions begin to form over how and where. 

The people who run Josephine Community Libraries hope many people support kids learning to read, and nurturing a love of reading, in public libraries. 

JCLI has a tough task: running a county library system with no county operating support. 

So it is now working to crowdfund children's libraries in the county. 

JCLI boss Kate Lasky and Wendy Willis of Oregon's Kitchen Table visit to explain how the effort works.
