Josephine Community Library was happy to contribute to SOREDI’s series on business basics by teaching a class on digital communication in the workplace. It gave us the opportunity not only to help bridge the digital divide but also to offer the library’s resources to more patrons!

The Library is proud to be collaborating with SOREDI to create a quarterly business book discussion group. Together with SOREDI and the Medford Cowork Collective, the Library is building community through book discussions about the challenges of building capacity to keep businesses running while navigating the pandemic. This collaboration came to being through a monthly business support conversation generated through the Library, in which SOREDI has been a key participant in sharing information to strengthen local business support ecosystems. 

We are so grateful for the growing collaboration between SOREDI and A Greater Applegate! SOREDI helped steer crucial resources to the Applegate Valley during thepandemic and has been a valued mentor in our economic development efforts.  We look forward to the continued growth of our partnership to the benefit of our entire region.
