I love this place! They are helpful and amazing with children. I honestly feel at home when I am there. They have a great reading program for little ones. I feel so lucky that my daughter will get to grow up going there.

The staff at the Josephine County Library treated me with contempt and unessecary aggression. Upon seeing me silently using my cellular device an elderly woman informned me “The library is closing. Also: no cell phones in the library.” (My question is, if it is not silent what is the issue, also: how would they enforce such a ridiculous rule if no one is effected by one’s personal use of their cell phone, while silent?) The situation left me bewildered and hurt. The public library is the only place I can receive Wi-Fi and thus contact my family. I am currently homeless and staying at a shelter that does not always provide internet services. I thought one could look up to elders for care and guidance. I guess not.

This is my favorite place to go in the whole county! They have a very broad selection of books, the library itself is very neat and well organized and the online Polaris catalog is very easy to use to place books on hold, see overdue titles, and even renew books you have currently out. The summer reading programs are very great (both the teen program and for younger kids) and really encourage reading across all ages. I hope this library will continue to be around for my kids.
