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 today, Sept. 8.

These services will be offered 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and will give our patrons opportunities to start utilizing the Library’s new and improved collections. These expanded services will continue until both library locations are able to fully reopen to the public once COVID-19 restrictions allow.

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.
• A dedicated professional children’s librarian or full-time staff member available to offer improved service to youth and people of all ages.
• New exterior landscaping, sidewalks and lighting, along with interior and exterior painting to make the facility more attractive for parents and families.
• 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.
