In the ensuing years, the club became anxious to re-locate. In 1979, it received permission from the Town Council to move into the rear room of the newly acquired Community Center. The Council allocated funds to pay for all utilities. In addition, the library receives a yearly grant from the Shenandoah County Board of Trustees. There will be a computer system and fax machines linking Mt. Jackson to the County Library in Edinburg and to town libraries in New Market, Basye-Orkney, and Strasburg.
Plans are underway to provide a delivery service between the libraries in the System.
Expanded hours and more convenient location have fostered a greater use of the library. In 1982, the library was cleft from the cub. It is now an independent body, administered by a Board of Trustees appointed from the entire community. Each summer, a special program is conducted for young children, during which they are entertained and enthralled by guest speakers, a story hour, games and varied activities based on topics of special interest to their age levels. The library invites members of the community who have already done so to join the Mt. Jackson Community Library and the Shenandoah County Library System and welcomes to the volunteer staff any who share an interest in providing eduction and entertainment for all ages.
