County councillors have promised to keep the public informed about the provision of education and library services for an asylum seeker centre near Bicester.
If the centre is given the go-ahead, the county council could be asked to provide services for the contractors running the centre.
The executive board agreed to ask officers to examine arrangements for the provision of education and library services for the Home Office-run centre, if it is approved.
At February's public inquiry into plans for the 750-person centre on Ministry of Defence land, Andrew Coggins, the county librarian, said Bicester Library would not be able to cope and was already below standard for its catchment area.
Public inquiry inspector Paul Taylor is expecting to finish his report by April 28, before handing it to the Office of Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott.
The Home Office has pledged to abide by the inspector's recommendations.
