Friends of the Orange County Public Library

Dear Friends,

Book Sale

Our recent used book sale was another big success! Woo hoo!

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who helped with setup, sales, and breakdown. We couldn’t have done it without you!

As always, thanks to Diane Decker, the book sale chairperson, who does a fantastic job leading the charge and handling a lot of moving parts.

National Library Week

April 6-12, 2025 marks National Library Week, a week to celebrate all that our libraries and librarians do for us. The Friends will be hosting a luncheon soon as a thank you for the wonderful staff we are lucky to have at the Orange County Public Libraries. Want to help libraries? Here are some easy actions you can take: HELP LIBRARIES
