The Friends of the Jacksonville Library will provide gift wrapping for local holiday shoppers on three Saturdays, December 3, 10 and 17, noon-4pm. Shoppers may bring their gifts to the Naversen Community Room at 340 West C Street. There’s no charge for the service but donations are appreciated and will be used to help with future library program expenses. Refreshments will be provided for shoppers while they wait for their gifts to be wrapped with musical entertainment provided by the South Medford High School String Orchestra, under the direction of Zoryn Thompson, from 1-2pm. Student volunteers will be on-hand to assist library members with the wrapping.
The Friends of the Library organization promotes public awareness in the community, supports activities and programs at the library and purchases equipment and supplies not covered in the library’s budget. Community members wishing to join the Friends of the Jacksonville Library will find enrollment forms at the library or may call club president Lana Breazeale at 541-500-9800.
