New library opens

Posted on January 14, 2010 by Staff

The Orange County Main Library, located at 137 W. Margaret Lane in Hillsborough, opened last Friday.

The 23,500-square-foot, two-story building will feature more than 16 public-access computers, a teen center, a 90-person meeting room and a local history area. The first floor of the library is devoted to children, with an expanded collection, comfortable furniture and a story-time area.

Local art also will be on display in the new library. The first exhibit is area photographer Kent Corley’s “Another Side of Orange County,” which explores areas of the county not usually photographed. The exhibit was commissioned for the library opening and will run through March.

The Orange County Public Library system also includes a branch in Cedar Grove and two branches in Carrboro: the Cybrary in the Century Center and a facility in McDougle Middle School.
