Social Justice Services

Bringing the library to the people.

We serve communities not traditionally represented in brick and mortar libraries. Our staff provides tutoring and library services for the individuals confined at the Santa Rita Jail, Juvenile Justice Center, and Camp Wilmont Sweeney. We are also embedded in the REACH Ashland Youth Center, and continue to ensure access to healthy food through our free meals service.
