Orange County Library Long-Range Facility Planning 10 That the Orange County Public Library establish a branch library to serve Cheeks Township, its size dependent on the timing of the opening of the library and subsequent changes in population projections for the township. It is estimated that, given the current 20-year population projections, a newly constructed facility of 10,000 square feet would be needed. The Library should continue to investigate co- loration in the new Efland-Cheeks Middle School in the short term if public library user service needs and space requirements can be met with that arrangement. 6. That the population growth in the Cedar Grove Township be monitored and plans be considered to expand the library facility in the Orange County Services Center as indicated 7. That rural community nodes be evaluated for the establishment of cybrazies to provide access to more distant library resources; or, alternatively, reestablish bookmobile service with Internet access to county areas not served by an accessible library facility. 8, That the Chapel Hill Public Library be recognized as a significant partner in the provision of libraz'y services to the County. ^ That the allocation of County funds to the Chapel Hill Library reflect the role of that Librazy in providing county services. ^ That a study be undertaken to determine the feasibility of,joint computer operations of the Orange County Library System with the Chapel Hill Public Library..
