Support the Library

For over 200 years, Jefferson County Public Library has been one of the county's most valued resources, improving the quality of life for all its patrons.

In 2025, the Library served more than 75,000 people and delivered an estimated $5.2 million in value to the community.

Private support makes a huge impact and helps the Library do even more.

There are many ways to help below, but one matters most: using the Library. Whether it's borrowing books and DVDs, using the Wi-Fi, or coming to programs, being a Library patron helps us stay a vibrant part of Jefferson County.
