Library Card Sign up Month
Behind the Scenes with Anaheim Library
Since the Library's temporary closure, we've transformed services just for you!

We've made over 13,000 curbside pick-up deliveries, checked out over 50,200 books, created over 30,000 STEAM supply kits, gave away 4,000 meals, and over 55,000 books to youth. We also hosted over 100 virtual programs and did outreach at food distribution sites, schools, and summer camps.

We know how essential Library services are for you, and we're looking at everything we need to reopen safely.

We don't have a reopening date yet but we will announce our plans by emailing patrons as soon as we do.

We can't wait to see you again!
