Following the signing of a county-wide “Stay at Home” order by Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings Tuesday, March 24, to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the Orange County Library System announced it would be suspending home delivery services Thursday, March 26.

All 16 library locations were closed to the public back on Wednesday, March 18, but the recently signed executive order halts all non-essential services — which includes OCLS' delivery service — starting Thursday night.

Customers who recently utilized the program can check the status of requested materials by logging into their account on ocls.info. If the item is checked out to the cardholder, then it is in route, but some materials will not be processed until the service becomes available again, stated OCSL in a press release.

Despite the circumstances, OCSL still offers several digital options — including ebooks and audiobooks, live online classes, streaming TV and movies, music downloads, et cetera — to library cardholders.
