Dear Library Supporters, 

The Jefferson County Library Board of Trustees would like to thank you for your generous support of our Library District. Our Winter Giving Campaign raised over $55,000 toward a future solar installation, and recent estate gifts are allowing us to tackle substantial capital projects that were only distant hopes a few years ago. We are so pleased that this community supports our mission of feeding minds and fueling dreams across Jefferson County – we couldn’t do it without you! 

Now there is another opportunity to support your local library – April 3rd is #LibraryGivingDay, a national event to raise awareness of the critical services provided by public libraries. We encourage donations of any amount to support the work we do. This is primarily a social media campaign, so watch for information on Facebook, Instagram, and Nextdoor. When you see our posts, please share widely! Curious about our upcoming projects? Here are a few:

  • As part of the District’s commitment to sustainability and energy conservation, we are embarking on a full-facility energy audit through the Department of Enterprise Services’ Energy Program, the result of which will be recommendations for our planned solar installation as well as other opportunities for improved energy efficiency.  
  • New technology is being added to the Humphrey Room (large meeting space) to improve the visibility and sound of presented media.  
  • Landscaping work around the Hagen Building is nearly complete and includes a rhododendron garden to honor the memory of Paul C. Anderson who left the Library District a significant donation in 2022. 
  • A new digital sign is slated to replace the old, inoperable sign at the corner of Ness’ Corner Road and Cedar Ave.  
  • A modular “Annex” building is being designed to house Administrative Services offices and staff meeting space—it will be located next to the Library’s staff entrance on the east side of the building. This added space is made possible by a generous gift from the estate of Gerald Boarino in 2023.  

Thank you again for your generosity, and happy #LibraryGivingDay
Sincerely, 
JCLD Board of Trustees
