Just a few miles past UC Irvine, tucked beside winding green spaces, the University Park Library is a hub of activity. On a late weekday afternoon, the library is full of studying high school students, parents with young children, and other community members taking a break on new plush chairs between the book stacks.

While UC Irvine Libraries carry and subscribe to a vast collection of books and scholarly resources, a large selection of electronic equipment is also available to check out at no additional cost.
