Orange's public libraries welcome everyone to study, enjoy programs, and pursue opportunities for education, employment, and enrichment.
At the library you will find books, movies and music for free checkout; special programs for all ages; computers and databases for public use; and
extensive local history archives.

Please consider a major gift to the Library Legacy Campaign. All contributions are tax-deductible.

Here are some of the opportunities for support:

The Orange Public Library Foundation proudly
announced the kickoff of its Library Legacy Campaign at the 2010
OPLF Gala and Legacy Awards celebration.

Dr. Michael and Mrs. Jean Abdalla have generously agreed to serve as
Honarary Co-Chairs of the Legacy Campaign. The Abdallas emphasized
their support by donating $50,000 to name the
Dr. and Mrs. Michael Abdalla Fiction Area.

Pooled Endowment Funds generate interest which is utilized to support key Orange Public Library initiatives for purchase and preservation of
books and materials, children's programming, and technology. A donation of $5,000 or more sets up an individually named account that is
collectively invested in perpetuity. Two such accounts already exist: One for local history, and the other for new library books and other materials.

Annual Program Support provides underwriting for the libraries' Summer Reading Program for children and for teens; Library Card Registration
Month each September; an annual Anime [Japanese animation] Film Festival; an Author Series; and more. A one-time contribution of $5,000 will
provide support and naming rights for a library program for one year.

Public-Use Computers may be supportedfor $2,500 apiece, with the donor recognized by name on a special wall plaque.

Furniture - tables and chairs throughout the libraries - may be named for $750 to $5,000 apiece, depending on the item. The donor will be
recognized by name on a special wall plaque.

Local History Display Cases (4) in the Lobby of the new Orange Public Library & History Center are available for permanent naming recognition
at $20,000 apiece. These walnut display cases contain rotating exhibits about Orange's unique history.

Adopt-A-Stack Endowments provide more books, music, and/or DVDs in the subject area of the donor's greatest interest. A $25,000
contribution (payable over several years if desired) is recognized with the donor's name on a plaque on a library bookcase.

Naming opportunities are still available at the Orange Public Library & History Center (Main Library) for major areas within that building.
