About the
Library: |
The Library is operated independently under ORHA but receives no funding from
ORHA or Oak Run Associates, Ltd.
The Library at Oak Run is the best retirement community
private library in the area. Your FREE library card
entitles you to borrow books, puzzles, newly
released DVD movies (at a small fee per day) and a large
selection of two week DVD's. Get your card today!
The Library is managed by the Friends of the Library
Board. Its operation depends upon your support of the
monthly Saturday Night at the Movies, the Book Sales
during the Donut Drop-Ins and on fees for newly released
DVD movies.
The Library is run entirely by volunteers. Volunteers are
needed in many areas and may also work as Librarians. Librarian

and start as substitutes. Sign up to volunteer in the Library.
