The city of Santa Clarita will host a public meeting to discuss the proposed concept plan and location for the new Saugus Library Center on Thursday, June 23 at 6 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room at Plum Canyon Elementary School, located at 28360 Alfreds Way.

No RSVP is required to attend.

Attendees will receive a presentation on the proposed Saugus Library Center plan and proposed site location, and will have the opportunity to share their thoughts.

The Santa Clarita Public Library has three branches located in the communities of Canyon Country, Newhall and Valencia. To determine what should be included in a new library in the Saugus community, city staff conducted a need assessment focusing on the future Saugus Library service area. The feedback received highlighted the need for a multi-use facility that would serve as a library community center and include library, technology, innovation, meeting, recreation, art, event, and learning spaces.

The city intends to locate, design, construct and program the Saugus Library Center by the year 2020.

The Saugus Library Center is part of the city’s Santa Clarita 2020 Community Strategic Plan. Visit SantaClarita2020.com for a complete list of projects, programs and services the city is working toward.
