These activities are the first <br /> steps toward developing a strategic plan for the library's future, and the library is actively <br /> seeking input from County residents. It is called "Deep Roots- New Growth: Creating a <br /> Customer Focused Library". The planning process will assess the community's needs on <br /> library services and form the basis of a three-year plan for Orange County libraries. <br /> All County residents are encouraged to respond to the online survey either from home <br /> or at the library. Participation is voluntary and all responses are confidential. The survey will <br /> be posted on the library's Web site at www.oranqecountync.qov/library. <br /> The next forum is taking place on Thursday, October 18 at the Century Center in <br /> Carrboro and the Maple View Education Center on Dairyland Road. Community forums are <br /> open to all ages and everyone is encouraged to attend to share their thoughts and visions for <br /> libraries in Orange County. <br /> Complete information is on the library's website and all Orange County Library <br /> locations. <br /> PUBLIC CHARGE <br />
