OC Library - Katie Wheeler Branch

Katie Wheeler library is gorgeous! surrounded by the beautiful garden, located in the historic house of Irvine family, it is a bridge between legacy and the future. The Friends Book Store located in the basement, I think the space is the biggest in all the OC public libraries in Irvine. There are so many used audiobooks in the friends book store, up to $5/each, it is a very attractive deal if you can find the ines you like. Also, Nancy in the bookstore is very helpful.

Located at Irvine Ranch Historic Park, the library has its own rose garden and avocados trees. It’s a nice place to bring family and enjoy some quiet time. While it’s not as big as other libraries, it is still has its own charm. Beautiful garden and seatings.

A historic building and beautiful garden lies under California sunshine in Irvine.

This library isn’t just for books. It’s a site with an incredible history of the origins of Orange County and the family that was blessed to help found it. You can see some of the housing utilized by the farm workers over 100 years ago. And … you can find a nice place for a picnic.

Conveniently located across the street from Irvine marketplace. The library is bit small but it has a cozy feel to it. The staff are helpful and friendly, they don't look agitated when you ask lots of questions. There's a picnic area, rose garden, a little orchard at the property. It's a cute place to stroll around. In addition, the library also offers many various activities for the community. It deserves a visit.
