5.0 Meet the educational, cultural, civic, information, recreation, business, and life -long learning
needs of residents through the provision of library resources.
5.4 Promote collaborations among community groups, educational institutions and the Public
Library to enhance sharing of information, resources, and financial support for library
facilities, services and programs.
17. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
FOPL is donating $29,450 to meet various Library needs. The generous dollar amount coming
from FOPL includes:
• $18,350 to purchase fiction, eBooks, and audiobooks for children, teens, and adults at all
three libraries, as well as to renew the library's electronic resources: Wowbrary and
Rocket Languages. The demand for new books has increased due to expanded library
hours and the Library's weekly Wowbrary email to patrons.
• $4,500 for the annual Summer Reading Club for the three libraries. Funds will purchase
books and reading incentives for approximately 3,000 patrons.
• $500 to fund the Library's Teen Volunteer Recognition Program. Funds will be used to
reward and motivate volunteers for their hard work and dedication throughout the year at
all three libraries.
• $2,100 to fund children's programs at the branches. Due to expanded library hours and
greater demand by the community, more programs are needed at the branches. Funds will
pay for performers (magicians, puppeteers, etc.).
• $4,000 to purchase library technology. Funds will be used to purchase a new bilingual
Educational Learning Station computer for the Orange Public Library & History Center.
The Orange Public Library will publicize FOPL's contributions in a variety of ways, including
bookplates where appropriate, and credit for programming support on the Library's website,
flyers, and calendars.
