The Santa Ana Public Library is excited to begin offering curbside pickup, along with phone based reference and check-out services at the Newhope Branch Library. These services will be offered 10 am – 6 pm, Monday through Friday and allow our patrons opportunities to start utilizing the Library’s new and improved collections.

Although the Santa Ana Public Libraries are currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Newhope Library has been busy receiving a variety of great upgrades and improvements that youth and residents of all ages will be sure to enjoy. These upgrades include:

  • An improved collection with age appropriate content for children and young adults.

  • New library furniture featuring designs and colors that are fun and attractive for children and youth.

  • A media lab featuring cutting edge technology for youth activities and STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, art, mathematics) based programming.

  • Expanded service hours each week (when the building is able to reopen to the public). Additional hours will offer enhanced access and services for children and their caregivers.
