OB Public Library collecting donations for BARC


Point of Contact: Bonnie Lee, 251-981-2923

This past holiday season, the Orange Beach Public Library’s patrons generously donated many wonderful items to the Baldwin Animal Rescue Center (B.A.R.C.). Throughout the coming year, the Library staff would like to encourage you to continue to drop off your donations for B.A.R.C. as part of our community outreach programs and activities.

In addition to collecting for B.A.R.C. the Library also:

-collects "burnt-out" compact fluorescent bulbs in cooperation with Baldwin EMC's RecyclePak program,
-provides a donation station for used eyeglasses for the Lions Club's Recycle for Sight campaign
-collects used cell phones and chargers for The Lighthouse, Baldwin County's Domestic Violence Prevention organization
-provides a bulk recycling bin for community use
