What's New

At the June 17, 2008, library district public hearing, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted two-to-one to against Jefferson County Public Library’s (JCPL) proposal to become an independent library district. Despite this decision, the Library Board of Trustees remains convinced that a library district is the best organizational model for the future of JCPL.

Further considerations about the road ahead will be discussed in the coming weeks, and we will be sure to let the community know what that path forward looks like.

On behalf of the Trustees and Library staff, I would like to extend great thanks to Jefferson County residents and the Library community for your continued support and assistance in our efforts. As a component unit of Jefferson County government, we remain committed to working with the Board of County Commissioners to provide high-quality library services to the community.

Respectfully yours,

Keith Grebe
Chair, Library Board of Trustees
