Alabama Gives Day is just around the corner

We are counting down to Alabama Gives Day!

On Feb 2nd, ALABAMA GIVES DAY is a great way to show your support for the services of the Jefferson County Library Cooperative. Some of the services include: internet access in public libraries, book delivery among the libraries and access to databases.

Irondale Public Library could not give the level of service that we offer without the Jefferson County Library Cooperative.

Please consider a donation. JCLC has an official Alabama Gives Day website here.
