From story time in the park to fun and games inside, the Santa Clarita Public library is sharing its events for this month with the community.

The Library will also be recognizing July’s Mental Health Awareness month, with helpful kits for those in need.

Kids Corner

This summer, the Library transforms into a stage, an art studio and a mythological battleground. At the Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Library Branch, young performers can step into character during Roleplay with Santa Clarita Shakespeare.

The Valencia Library Branch invites creative minds to dive into color and texture with a hands-on squishy toy and painting session. At the Old Town Newhall Library Branch, demigods-in-training can join the Camp Half-Blood: Percy Jackson Party for epic games, mythical challenges and legendary fun. Wherever your child’s imagination leads, the adventure begins at the Library.
