The Irvington Library will close this summer. The last day of library service will be July 31, 2024. The Library is working in partnership with the City of Fremont to bring new library services to Irvington soon. Some of these innovative services will include two self-service book lockers in South Fremont, pop-up maker crafts, and a combined makerspace.
The decision to close the Irvington Library was made after careful evaluation of how to best serve the South Fremont community. The Library determined that the building, a temporary structure owned by the City of Fremont, has reached a point where it can no longer provide a sustainable space for library service. The City of Fremont intends to evaluate future recreation programming at the site.
The Irvington Library opened in 1971 and has provided service in the same building for over 50 years. Over the years, limited service has been offered within this temporary building. Since 1997, the Irvington Library has rarely been open more than one day a week. After the COVID-19 pandemic, it reopened as a limited Makerspace with a small Tool Lending Library and a reduced book collection.
The Library appreciates the community support throughout the years. All library services will continue at the Centerville, Fremont Main, and Niles Libraries. While the Library is developing services for Irvington, library members are encouraged to use these AC Libraries in the Fremont area and be on the lookout for pop-up events outside the Irvington Library.
In addition, library members can download and stream eBooks, eMagazines, movies, music, and more 24/7 with an Alameda County Library card.
