Summer is here and it's time for some fun! Pick up a BINGO sheet from the library and fill them out while doing fun activities around town, at home, and in the library! The theme this year is Plant a Seed, Read&nbsp;and is rooted in the concept of farm to table. Try some new activities like gardening, cooking, visiting farmer's markets, and using the library's Seed Library.
Stop by the Main Library or the Ora Mason Library to pick up a BINGO sheet to get started! Every sheet you complete and return to the library is one entry into a raffle for a chance to win a gift card.&nbsp;This year we have three different raffles you can be entered into. The Main Library and the Ora Mason Library each have one raffle that you will be entered into if you return at least one BINGO sheet to that library. (Return one or more to each library to enter both raffles and have a better chance to win!) Finally, we have a raffle for both locations. Everyone who returns five BINGO sheets will be entered into a raffle to win a $50 gift card. Please feel free to contact the library with any questions or for more information!


Participate anytime between July 1st and August 31st!&nbsp;BINGO sheets can be picked up and returned at either of our locations, 300 Elm Street, or 260 Benham Hill Road, and can be returned strategically at both for entry into more than one raffle.

Regina Sauer, Realtor with Houlihan Lawrence Wareck D'Ostilio

I was born and raised in Orange, giving me not only an in-depth knowledge of the town but also a genuine appreciation for the surrounding communities. This area has always been home, and I take great pride in helping my clients discover everything that makes it such a wonderful place to live. Whether you're buying your first home, searching for your forever home, or preparing to sell, I'm excited to share my local expertise and help you find the community that's the perfect fit. I truly believe every client deserves genuine care, personal attention, and a supportive experience from start to finish. I take the time to really understand your goals, keep you informed every step of the way, and offer honest, thoughtful guidance you can feel confident in throughout the process. Strong negotiation is a key part of what I do, and I approach it with both skill and heart. I work hard to protect your best interests, advocate for you with care and determination, and help you achieve the strongest possible outcome while keeping the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. To me, great service means being there when you need me—answering questions quickly, paying attention to the details that matter, and going the extra mile to make sure you feel supported and at ease. Real estate can be complex, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. My commitment is simple: to provide a warm, responsive, and client-focused experience that helps you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
