Your ship is sinking! Choose your supplies wisely. Row your lifeboat to shore. See if your family can survive long enough to signal for help. Recommended for families with children 6-14.
After their ship sinks, families will use their communication, collaboration and critical thinking skills to choose supplies, survive the life raft, and earn survival time on the deserted island. Once on the deserted island, family crew members will carry out the tasks necessary to signal for help and survive until rescued. If they complete all tasks within their survival time, they win the challenge. This challenge is best for families with children 6 years and above.

The South Creek Branch is located at the intersection of Deerfield Boulevard and Balcombe Road east of South Orange Blossom Trail. Serving communities including Deerfield, Ginger Mill, Hunters Creek, Pepper Mill, South Chase and Whisper Lakes, South Creek is the southernmost branch in Orange County.
In October of 2002, the South Creek branch replaced the South Orange Branch which had been located in the Waterbridge Down Shopping Center since 1992. With the completion of South Creek, south Orange County now has a light and bright facility with state-of-the-art technology and services including, 35 public computers, self-checkout, and technology classes in English and Spanish. This facility was funded by the Orange County Library District and a Florida Library Construction Grant.
A special feature at South Creek is the sculpture "Bonsai Study IV" by local artist Larry Jones. The piece won "Best in Show" at the 2001 Fiesta in the Park. The Fiesta Committee purchased the sculpture and donated it to the Library.
