Help Shape the Future of Irvine Public Library
The City of Irvine is developing a Library Master Plan to guide the future of Irvine Public Library (IPL) and ensure that library services, facilities, collections, programs, technology, and community spaces continue to meet the needs of Irvine residents.
Your input is an important part of this process. Your feedback will help identify community priorities and inform recommendations. The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.
