The larger story
The city’s library page lists books, interlibrary loans, Wi-Fi, computers, printing, and children’s activities. It also identifies local historical references among the collection.
The library is beside City Hall at 201 North Main Street and belongs to the Sage Library System. Borrowing and local research connect this small place to a wider regional network.
The city names Eric Shoudel as librarian and gives a mailing address of PO Box 15, Joseph. It says the library “is guided by the Joseph Public Library Task Force consisting of at least two Joseph City Council members and a collection of Joseph citizens,” which typically meets on the third Thursday of each month at 5:00 p.m. in the library. The page describes the Sage system as “a consortium of 74 libraries across eastern Oregon.” Regular hours are not stated on the page read, which listed temporary hours only.
