Please Become an Advocate for Your Library
Indiana public libraries risk losing essential funding as the Indiana Legislature passed a property and income tax reform bill. This happened at the state level and is different from the federal government's elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
JCPL is committed to maintaining the funding needed to continue to provide all of its services and programming to our community. They need your help. Click here to help advocate for JCPL.
