Plot Twist: You Help Decide the Library’s Next Chapter

Your Orange County Library System(OCLS) wants to hear from you! A community feedback survey is available online now through April 30 at ocls.org/masterplansurvey.

This survey is the first step in developing a master plan to ensure all Orange County libraries are inviting, accessible, attractive and comfortable spaces where everyone can belong and thrive. This plan will guide the library's improvements and expansions over the next 10-20 years and will prioritize future investments.

"Orange County is growing fast, and a well thought out master plan will help us create a future for our library spaces that meet community need and interests," said Library Director and CEO Steve Powell. "Ideas and feedback from current and potential library users are essential to shape and grow our spaces and offerings effectively."

The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and asks questions about community needs, library and technology usage and questions to ensure communities throughout the county are represented.

OCLS is a public library system serving the 1.5 million residents of Orange County, Fla. With 15 locations and a vast network of online and outreach resources, OCLS enriches lives through experiences and opportunities to learn, grow and connect. With free programs from technology classes for all ages to early literacy education and free online resources including language learning and homework help, an OCLS library card offers unlimited value.
