Scroll down below to see what the library has in store.

Meet Karen Boeder, adult services library assistant at Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Branch

Q: What are your areas of expertise?
I began my library career as a part-time library aide and, during that time, I learned a lot about working in the library. I enjoy keeping our collections organized so patrons can find the items they are looking for. My degree is in history and I love helping patrons dig deeper into an area of interest. I am a certified passport acceptance agent too. Getting a passport can seem intimidating, so it is gratifying to help our community members navigate the process. I am also an avid knitter and look forward to leading the program “Sit and Stitch” at the Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Branch this fall.

Q: What’s your next adventure?
I am in the midst of my best adventure. Six years ago, my family moved to California from Texas and we are still exploring our new home. I would love to rent an Airstream travel trailer and camp with my husband and dogs in the beautiful state and national parks.

Food for Fines

Throughout the month of September, patrons can get $5 in overdue item fees or replacement library card fees waived for every non-perishable food or toiletry item brought in to any branch for donation through our Food for Fines program! Collected items will be donated to the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry, Santa Clarita Grocery and The Salvation Army. There is a maximum of $20 waived per Santa Clarita Public Library account.

Visit any of our branches to sign up and get a card that is ready to take you anywhere you can imagine!

We are having a Stuffed Animal Sleepover on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the Old Town Newhall Branch! Bring one of your favorite stuffed animals and join us from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. for a story, snacks and a fun craft before you tuck them in and say goodnight. We will let you know what fun adventures your stuffie and their new furry friends have been up to in the library when you pick them up the next day!
