This year’s Summer Reading Program (SRP) theme is Unearth a Story. SRP begins in June and ends in mid-August, and we always include an SRP-themed activity during fair week at the Jefferson County Fair. Stop by the library on August 19 to for our next event, “Meet a Paleontologist,” with Chris Toman. For the library team, it’s a time to reflect on the past year and prepare for the months ahead. Financial accountabilitySince the Jefferson County Library became a District in 2000, we have operated under our voter-approved permanent tax rate of $0.4349 per $1,000 of assessed value.
