Books and Beyond 2005-2014

Books and Beyond

Books and Beyond, the Orange County Library System newsletter has come a long way since the first issue was published in 1996. Early library publications include Footnotes 1966-1970, the Friends of the Library Newsletter, and simpler versions of the Books and Beyond 1996-1999.

Simpler early versions of Books and Beyond 2000-2004 blossomed through the years with the first full-color Books and Beyond published in October 2002, the first stapled version published in October 2003, and the first in the current magazine format was published in February 2007.

Today, Books and Beyond is a monthly 32-page color magazine featuring classes, programs and special events. It is accompanied by an online version which is emailed to subscribers. Each edition is truly a work of art! Explore the happenings at the libraries in the Orange County Library System in these mini time capsules!

As we prepare to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the library in 2023, all these publications preserve the history of the Friends of the Library and the many special events, programs, art displays and innovation shared with the people of Orange County through the years.
