The Main Event

Happy 75th Anniversary OPPL!

The Orland Park Public Library is proud to announce it is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2012. We have planned several events in honor of this milestone throughout the year to thank our patrons for their support. We know many of you have been with us throughout our history and we would love for you to share your memories. If you would like to share a story or photograph, please email askoppl@orlandparklibrary.org so we can create a memory board in honor of this diamond anniversary. The Board of Library Trustees and staff thank our patrons for their continued support over the years and hope we celebrate one hundred years with you all!
