Irvine University Park Friends of the Library — Local services in Irvine

Do you remember that old library you use to go to when you were a kid? This is the place.

This library does not have a great selection of books on CD - mostly series of those mystery books that are written by authors like Sue Grafton or Danielle Steele. I also wanted to inquire about the voter's guides for the upcoming election and the front desk people sort of ignored me. I go because it's on my way home from work but if you like audiobooks,...
