 The Orange Beach Public Library has been notified that we have received national recognition as a 5-Star Library, the highest rating from The Library Journal Index of Public Library Services. The ranking is based on four service categories: circulation (number of items checked out), visits to the library, program attendance and public Internet computer use. This second round of the LJ Index is based on our 2007 data, predating the recession’s onset.
