>From the article:

The Josephine County Board of Commissioners unanimously agreed to terminate the county’s lease with the Josephine Community Library’s central branch in Grants Pass on Jan. 6.

The library received a 30-day notice from the county following the decision and has until Feb. 6 to vacate the building or negotiate the terms of a new lease. The library called the vote “a shocking turn of events.”

“This abrupt decision undermines community trust and investment,” library director Kate Lasky said in a statement issued on Jan. 7. “Terminating the lease with just 30 days notice disregards these contributions and the essential services the library provides to thousands. We deserve a fair and respectful process.”
