Library 5 Year Anniversary Graphic 2016To celebrate five years of service and stories in the Santa Clarita community, the Santa Clarita Public Library will be hosting free festivities throughout the month of June and serving birthday cake on Friday, July 1, 2016 at all of its branches. The entire community is invited to help celebrate this grand milestone.

The Santa Clarita Public Library first opened its doors on July 1, 2011. Since then, the three library branches—Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Library, Old Town Newhall Library, and Valencia Library—have been providing visitors with free innovative resources and educational programming; constantly enhancing its services to address the growing needs of the community.

Free activities will be hosted at each library branch to celebrate the grand milestone. They are as follows (while supplies last):

In 2015 alone, more than 890,000 patrons stepped inside a Santa Clarita Public Library, more than 600,000 people visited the online website SantaClaritaLibrary.com, and more than 894,000 books and materials were circulated.

“What we are commemorating is more than a building with books, it’s about the stories and services we’ve built in our community throughout the years,” said City Librarian Kelly Behle. “The library provides a safe and free place for residents of all backgrounds to participate in face-to-face and online cultural and community building. That’s a wonderful thing to have in our community and should be celebrated,” she added.

The Friends of the Santa Clarita Public Library will also be selling special Library 5 Year Anniversary book bags for $5.00 each. All proceeds benefit the Library. Purchase the bag in person at any Santa Clarita Public Library branch.

The mission of the Santa Clarita Public Library is to bring people, information, and ideas together to educate, inspire, and enrich the quality of life in our diverse community.
