The purpose of the Orange Library Association (OLA) is to promote the 17 public libraries in Orange County, New York.

Goals

  • Promote library service in Orange County.
  • Encourage access to materials among all libraries in the County through cooperative library service.
  • Promote local and national guidelines and best practices for library service.
  • Educate the public about library services and funding concerns.
  • Provide regular programs, meetings and publications for the education and enjoyment of our members.
  • Oppose censorship with a pledge of active support in local areas where freedoms are attacked.

  • We invite you to join us. OLA isn't just for librarians! Anyone with a love of libraries is welcome! Contact us today for membership information, in care of the Monroe Free Library, 845-783-4411.
