"No Shushing" Rally

The Grants Pass Friends of the Library will hold a “No Shushing” rally outside the Anne Basker Auditorium at 600 NW 6th St. in Grants Pass on August 21, 2025, beginning at 10:00 a.m. The rally will be held outside while the Josephine County Commissioners meet inside.

The rally is a response to Commissioner Blech’s controversial adjournment of the commissioners’ meeting on August 14, 2025, in which he cited audience “disrespect” in applauding a long-awaited vote on a lease for the Josephine Community Library District.

Out of concern that Commissioner Blech will take any murmur of either critique or appreciation as a chance to once again shut down the meeting, the Grants Pass Friends of the Library encourages supporters to attend the “No Shushing” rally held outside instead.
