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. The County of Orange will close Heritage Park and University Park Library locations May 16. The branches have an anticipated opening date of August 4, under City of Irvine operation. Katie Wheeler Library will close July 1 and reopen in early 2026 under City operation.
The Irvine Public Library is dedicated to enriching the community through access to educational resources, engaging programs, and inclusive spaces for discovery and connection. Learn more at irvinepubliclibrary.org.
