The Jackson Public Library has been a resource for many generations of Jacksonians, serving the community for over 100 years. Its collection of books, audios, and videos may be borrowed at no charge by any resident or property owner of Jackson. If a book is not in our collection, it can usually be obtained through an inter-library loan--greatly expanding the titles that the library can make available. Non-residents and visitors can obtain a library card for a modest fee of $20 per year.
The Library also functions as the Jackson Grammar School library. Students come to the Library each Tuesday and Thursday during the school year before it is opened to the public.
