The City of Irvine is transitioning Library services from the County of Orange to a new Irvine Public Library system, allowing for a more personalized, local approach to library services. With this transition, the City is committed to creating dynamic library spaces that foster civic engagement and community growth along with equitable access to education resources.
The Heritage Park and University Park Libraries will open as the first Irvine Public Library branches Monday, August 4. The Katie Wheeler Library will be transitioned to an Irvine Public Library in early 2026.
Help us build a library system that serves everyone in Irvine — now and for generations to come!
