The residents in the Lake Nona area desperately need a library!

As the fastest growing area of Orlando, the Lake Nona region has become home to thousands of families like mine who could greatly benefit from the wide array of services and resources provided by the library.

Currently, the closest OCLS branches take about 20 - 30 minutes to get to by car, and we really need a local branch in our community.

The growth is showing no signs of stopping. In fact, Southeast Orlando's population is expected to jump by about 77,000 residents by 2045.

The Lake Nona area is home to thousands of students -- from early learners to schoolchildren to college students to medical and pharmacy students and everything in between. We have veterans, professionals, people looking to make career changes, entrepreneurs, makers, and artists of every type.

We believe that libraries truly add to the quality of life of a community by creating a learning environment and experiences that foster personal growth and development. Our residents would greatly benefit from the rich programming, educational opportunities, and learning experiences offered by the OCLS. Our community is vibrant and expanding every day. Yet, we are still missing a key component of a thriving society -- a local library that is accessible to all. 

Please consider Lake Nona as a location for a new OCLS branch.
