Orange County is pleased to announce that the Orange County Public Library (OCPL) system was the recipient of a pair of awards at the recent Virginia Public Library Directors Association conference in Harrisonburg, VA. Recognized initiatives included the Revolutionary Self-Expression Program and the curated Book Box service. The first award, in the category of Outstanding Program for Adults, honored the Revolutionary Self-Expression Program that was held in partnership with the Arts Center in Orange. Supported by funding from a Virginia Commission for the Arts VA250 grant, the program was offered at each library branch. Participants attended weekly classes, during which they created their own book, inspired by the methods and stories of the American Revolution. Topics included book binding, story crafting, illustration, and more, which culminated in a celebration and sharing of works at the Arts Center.

The second award, in the category of Innovative Service Delivery Inside the Library, recognized the Book Box program developed by the OCPL Youth Services Librarian. Delivering a monthly, curated box of titles and items to participating subscribers based on their provided interests, this program has increased engagement and helped patrons discover exciting new reads that might have been otherwise overlooked. The Orange County Public Library offers a variety of enriching activities to residents of all ages.
