At theValencia opening, entertainment will be provided by the Santa Clarita Youth Symphony Chamber Group. Guests at all three events will enjoy new displays, tours, light refreshments and free commemorative book bags for the first 500 guests at each branch.
- Check-out stations at the Valencia Library were recently installed.
The City has spent $900,000 on new materials for the libraries, including books, magazines, DVDs, CDs and other media to assure that the opening day collection is robust. Under the City’s new public library system, patrons will have access to over 1.1 million titles, which is an additional 90,000 more titles than under the former system. Additionally, the City has budgeted a substantial annual expenditure, reflecting an increase of 67 percent for the acquisition of new materials for our libraries every year.
Library hours have been increased, with all three branches open on Sundays. The Canyon Country branch will open at 9 a.m., Monday through Thursday. The local libraries will have the benefit of a new partnership with LSSI, a professional library management company that currently provides services to 13 public library systems and 63 branch operations across the country, including the Library of Congress.
