Alabama Gives Day was a Great Success!

Thank You library lovers in Jefferson County, you helped Jefferson County Library Cooperative triple our $3,000 goal!

You put JCLC in the  #1 People’s Choice Award (313 donors) spot and  #5 AL Best Nonprofit Awards ($10,773 raised)!

Your donation will help keep alive our “One county-One library card” system.  

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.

Thank You from the Irondale Public library Board, Staff as well as the other 39 public libraries in Jefferson County.

Donations are still being accepted. JCLC has an official Alabama Gives Day website here.
