REMARKS: This new License Agreement with Orange County Library District DBA Orange County Library System (OCLS) is to provide facility use in the Orange County Multi-Cultural Center located at 7149 West Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida 32818.
The mission of the OCLS is to improve quality of life by creating a learning environment and experiences that foster personal growth and development.
The OCLS Device Advice program is to provide technology advice classes in English and Spanish for adults and seniors. This program will touch on topics such as internet use and terminology, web browser options and navigation, navigating social media, email basics, and cyber security on smart devices.
OCLS will also provide English language classes at the beginner level, as well as opportunities to practice conversational English to improve confidence and comprehension. Classes designed for adults 18 and older will help learners to read English proficiently, build a strong vocabulary, and develop the ability to read, process, and understand its meaning.
This program is not funded by Orange County government, and the agency has agreed to report outcomes associated with this program to Community Action Division staff.
The Board desires that the community centers owned and managed by the County be used in a manner that publicly benefits the County’s residents and has designated the Manager of the Community Action Division to be responsible for arranging, managing, and supervising the public use of the County’s community centers for the County’s residents.
