A new library and regional park are to be completed soon in Horizon West

A 20,000 square foot branch in Horizon West is coming soon. 

The Horizon West Library and the Horizon West Regional Park will be located off Hamlin Groves Trail.

Chief Executive Officer for the Orange County Library System Steve Powell said this is the biggest expansion they've done so far. “We haven’t kept up with growth out there, so having a library out there is going to be very important to us — not just for children’s literacy or after-school homework help or just having library resources in the community,” he said.

The new library is scheduled to open early 2026, and will feature an outdoor stage area with seating, so events and outdoor programmings can be scheduled there. 

In total, The Orange County Library System is spending $50 million combined to build both branches.
