“Orange Public Library is one of the most prominent libraries in Orange, CA. The Library was founded in 1885, making it one of the oldest public libraries in Orange County. The Library preserves local history and provides equal access to information, ideas, and knowledge through books, programs, and technology. Robert E. Tener, the Postmaster, donated his personal collection of 300 books to start the Library. He then ran the Library as a private organization, using membership dues to expand and maintain the collection. The Library itself was housed on South Glassell in the Post Office Building. Orange Public Library remained a private organization until 1894 when it was turned over to the city. In 1905, the Carnegie building was granted to house the Library at the corner of Center and Chapman. The Library believes in providing the freedom to read, learn, and discover.
