Research shows that overdue fines are more of a deterrent to library use than an encouragement to return items on time. We are happy to announce that in the December 9th meeting, the library board approved the policy change to no longer charge overdue fines to items that were checked out at Oregon.

We are currently working on retrospectively deleting previous overdue fines.

We are thrilled to have been selected by the Madison Community Foundation (MCF) for a grant of $40,000 for the new Oregon Public Library! It is an honor to receive their support for this important community project and to be included with so many wonderful organizations!

MCF announced $1.24 million in grants to 23 local nonprofits as part of their 2021 Community Impact Grant program this week.

“These grants are possible because of the generosity of thousands of donors who have come together to support our community through MCF’s Community Impact Fund,” explains Bob Sorge, MCF’s President and CEO. “Their gifts – large and small – collectively provide MCF the capacity to make meaningful grants to these organizations.”

Please park at the Kiser Shelter lot or on the street. Enter through Door 8 at 123 Grove St and bring a photo to check in at the district office.
