The JFHML is YOUR Library
The Jessie F. Hallett Memorial Library was a gift to the community from E.W. Hallett in memory of his wife Jessie. The Library has been the legacy of E.W. Hallett who was so important to the development of Crosby and the Cuyuna Range. The mission of the library was then and is now to inform, educate and culturally enrich the entire multigenerational Cuyuna Lakes community.
Due to funding cuts in the last several years, the library has cut back on services and staff. During this time of financial challenges, it has become apparent that an additional stable and growing funding source is necessary to continue providing services to the community.
The library has always been a source of pride to this community, so it made sense to develop a program where the citizens of the area, past and present, could be a part of the future of the library. Beginning an endowment fund was the natural solution—it will provide financial stability and it will allow people to support the library they love. Now, not only will it be the legacy of Mr. Hallett and his beloved wife Jessie, it can be the legacy of the people of the Cuyuna Lakes Area who love libraries, books and this area.

Thank you! Your generous gift will be permanently invested to create a lasting legacy for the JFHML Endowment Fund.
