City officials are holding a community meeting Wednesday to share plans and collect input for the new Yorba Linda library and arts and community center.

The project is planned for 4.7 acres – dubbed the strawberry field – on Lakeview Avenue, just north of Yorba Linda Boulevard, across from the Town Center development.

“The goal is for the library and arts and community center to be the heart of the Yorba Linda community, particularly with its adjacency to the new Town Center,” Library Director Carrie Lixey said.

Residents will be able to provide input to the design team on the designs and development of the property.

“Every community has unique values and needs that public facilities should meet,” Lixey said. “The more input the community can provide, the better the facility can be tailored to meet those requirements.”

The current 28,350-square-foot library is crowded, outdated and lacks parking, Lixey said.

The meeting will begin with an overview of the project history followed by an interactive format, which will include three stations where community input will be collected. The stations are intended to gather input on spaces, activities and services, input on the site and outdoor amenities and input on the exterior architecture and aesthetics.

The last part of the meeting will be used to summarize the input that was collected at each of the three stations during the meeting, to review the next steps of the project and to answer any additional questions, Lixey said.

For those unable to attend the 6:30 p.m. meeting, an informal open house session will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. where residents will be able to engage with the project team and the stations at their own pace.

In addition, kiosks have been set up in the library and community center to collect input on priorities such as group space, digital arts, outdoor gathering space, study areas and other options. The kiosks will remain up through the end of the year.

Additional kiosks, community meetings and public meetings will happen though next summer as the design progresses, Lixey said.
