Orange County Southern Branch Library

A wonderful local library with plenty of space to work and read. The building is bright and welcoming with a good selection of books and access to other branches' collections. Beware the GPS takes you to the back side of the library where you cannot access the parking deck, which is free.

Totally needed, beautiful space, lots of parking, and a bunch of amazing events for kids and adults!! Kids loved the Lego challenge, and I'm looking forward to the origami flower bouquet workshop and the global exploration event! Thank you librarians <3

This is a report from the Library's soft opening on February 3, 2025. The floor area is smaller than the Chapel Hill Public Library or the OC Library in Hillsborough. About 80% of the space is geared for kids, grade-schoolers, and YA. There are tables and pods available for online work. I measured 37Mbps down and 35.5Mbps up on the Library's WiFi network. TOC's WiFi is also available, but the library's connection appears far faster. Connections may slow down a bit as people find this new facility. Every title in the Orange County's inventory is available from both libraries. When reserving a book, you select the desired location on a pull-down menu. The library has daily courier service to move books from one library to the other. The non-library parts of the building will be opening soon

One of the few new libraries built in this century across the united states. Welcoming and beautiful. Come and spend time at a quiet space or stay near the entrance enjoying a cup of coffee from open eye and people watching.

Beautiful Facility. Great customer service. Ashland Tree Service
