To advise them on library matters, the Board appoints seven citizens to a Library Advisory Committee. The committee meets monthly. Meetings are open to the public and anyone who wishes may discuss matters with the committee. The funding for library operations is primarily from property taxes approved by the voters. Gifts may be cash, checks, or library materials.
All gifts are tax deductible.
Bequests may be left to the Jackson County Library and may specify the purpose for which the funds are to be used. Donations and bequests may also go to the Jackson County Library Foundation. Your public library is a busy place. The Jackson County Library Foundation, a tax-exempt organization, seeks private sources of funding to help pay for library building construction and special services not supported with tax dollars. The Storytelling Guild provides a weekly storytime in the Medford library children's department.
