6. Discussion and Background
The Orange Public Library Foundation is donating $36,260 to enhance and expand the Library’s public spaces. A portion of these funds was donated during the “Raise Your Paddle” portion of the Foundation’s 2023 Library Legacy Awards & Celebration to support the Library’s Adult Literacy Program. The donation will purchase collection materials, technology, and program supplies for the Literacy spaces at the Orange Public Library & History Center and the El Modena and Taft Branch Libraries. Funds will also be used to upgrade the sound system, projector, and projector screen in the Community Room at the El Modena Branch Library. The Community Room is often reserved by local organizations and businesses, City departments, and the Library Foundation to present a variety of meetings and programs to the community throughout the year.
The Orange Public Library will publicize the Foundation’s contributions in a variety of ways, including plaques where appropriate, and credit for support on the Library’s website, social media, flyers, and calendars.
