The Santa Ana Public Library (SAPL) is proud to announce three major projects launching in July 2025 that will expand access to learning, creativity, and connection across the city. | | Newhope Library Renovation Anticipated to Begin July 2, 2025 | | |
The Newhope Library will undergo an exciting renovation anticipated to begin July 2nd, 2025. Due to this renovation, programming will be paused at this location to allow staff to transition to the new Delhi Library Branch. Due to the upcoming renovation, parking will be limited beginning June 16.
Highlights of this renovation include a new glass storefront-style entrance and lobby, a brand-new Innovation Center with upgraded technology for STEM learning, a fully renovated outdoor patio with new seating and shade structure, a new reimagined colorful and inviting building façade, and a fully modernized interior. Newhope Library is expected to reopen in Spring 2026.
