The UCI Libraries provide vital leadership in UCI's quest for increasing distinction as a premier research university. As the intellectual crossroads of the campus, the Libraries are essential to its academic life, and inspire members of UCI's diverse community to discover, create, and contribute knowledge.
The new Irvine Public Library is set to open Sunday, August 3, marking a significant milestone in the City of Irvine's commitment to learning, literacy, and community connection. As we look ahead, planning is already underway to grow and enhance the entire library system. The City of Irvine hosted a series of community meetings in early June to explore future opportunities for facility space planning and library development.
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.
