School Partnership Program

Two library staff members standing beside a mobile outreach cart decorated with space‑themed graphics and ‘Star Seeker Kits’ signage. One is wearing a blue astronaut costume, while the other holds an informational flyer. The cart includes materials and cups, with posters in the background welcoming students.

Orange County Library System and Orange County Public Schools provide students and educators with valuable resources and support by collaborating on learning initiatives throughout the school year.
