Mission:

The Frances L. Simek Memorial Library will provide an accessible collection of print and non-print materials, services and programs to meet the changing needs for knowledge, interest and information sought by our community.

History:

Prior to 1900, many people in the Medford area were interested in providing reading materials for others; for example, there was a small library in the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WTCU) hall with a 50-book collection that was replaced every three months. The following brief history picks up the story as it has been formally documented.

About Us:

The Frances L. Simek Memorial Library provides a number of services to the community, including library materials of all types for all ages, children's storytime, creative programming, computers with internet access, reference help, and more.
