JCPL Administration

Printer-friendlyPrinter-friendly

Indiana public libraries are funded primarily by county property taxes. Other income is derived from the state, county adjusted gross income tax, bank tax, fines, fees, and copy machine receipts. The Jasper County Public Library serves approximately 31,525 people living in the county (excluding Carpenter Township). According to state law, the library is governed by an appointed, unpaid, seven-member board of local citizens.

Patty Stringfellow, Director of the Jasper County Public Libraries, has been a Jasper County resident since 1994. She began working at JCPL in 1997 as satellite and volunteer coordinator. In 1999 she became Headquarters Librarian for the Rensselaer Public Library, holding that position until assuming Directorship in January 2006. Patty graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations and from Indiana University with a Master's Degree in Library Science.
