HAVE YOU SEEN OUR BILLBOARDS?! šŸ¤©Last month, ORLA contracted with Lamar Advertising to display multiple billboards in Venango County to advertise our services. The billboards feature a ā€œcheck it out at your libraryā€ message & aim to highlight ORLAā€™s lesser-known resources, such as borrowable board games, yard games & equipment, digital resources & free programs. There were 5 billboards displayed for the month of September on RT 8, RT 157, RT 257, RT 322 & Colbert Avenue in Oil City. A single billboard will rotate locations in Venango County until March 2025. Let us know if you see them! ... See MoreSee Less
