One Oregon Town Wants Its Library Back

Friends of the Library has sought professional help to organize a discussion about raising funds to reopen their library, one of the 15 branches in Jackson County that closed April 6 because of budget cuts.

Susan Huntley, an Eagle Point resident, and her marketing firm Huntley and Associates, is gathering information on what citizens want in a library and how to raise the money to reopen the doors.

“We need to get people mobilized and speaking with one voice,” Huntley said. “We need to decide as a community what we want and then take that to the commissioners.”
