The Story Starts Here

You're invited to join us for a special day of celebration as we turn the page on a new chapter for Irvine's libraries! Both locations will host a ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony, followed by an afternoon of fun, discovery, and community connection for all ages.

Enjoy festivities including:

  • Live entertainment and interactive activities
  • Celebration stations:
    • Decorate a bookmark
    • Create friendship bracelets
    • Craft a miniature catapult
    • Add to an oversized community coloring sheet
  • Library-themed scavenger hunt
  • Balloon animals from the Assisteens of Irvine
  • Light refreshments and giveaways
  • A designated sensory-friendly corner for quiet breaks

While you celebrate, take time to explore the refreshed library spaces, connect with staff, sign up for a library card, and start enjoying the collections. We look forward to celebrating with you!
