Help Shape the Future of Irvine’s Libraries

by ICNV Staff

Help shape the next 20 years of the Irvine Public Library! The City of Irvine is developing a comprehensive Master Plan to redefine our library services — and your ideas, feedback, and priorities will help guide the way.

This isn’t just about books — it’s a long-range blueprint for the library’s facilities, technology, staffing, and programming. As Irvine grows, the City wants to ensure our libraries remain vibrant hubs for learning, creativity, and community connection.

Your voice matters. You can share your vision by completing the Library Master Plan Survey through November 30. Click here to take the survey. You can also share your feedback through one of the pop-up surveys at the Heritage Park, Katie Wheeler, and University Park libraries.

The City awarded a professional services agreement to Group 4 Architecture to lead the project. Having planned hundreds of libraries nationwide, they specialize in creating flexible, forward-looking spaces that meet today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow’s innovations.

The final plan, expected by December 2027, will guide strategic investments to keep our library system strong and adaptable for generations to come.
