How about we quit building libraries for millions of $ and invest in a new Senior Center! This city should be ashamed of what it calls its Senior Center!
I agree. The increasing geriatric numbers call for more state-of-the-art Senior facilities to accommodate that growing demographic. Other cities are boarding up or repurposing under-utilized libraries. Our City Council is not very forward thinking.

On the Bouquet Canyon median, that’s where this town seems to need the attention.
But then I suppose we’d need more trees there too.
A library?! Wtf? Yeah, books are great but it’s only a matter of time that they are obsolete. I think the one in Newhall is enough library for the SCV.

I vote NO library! Take care of our seniors!!
Well, not any where near Central Park. The City seems to think that everything can be there at the same time.
No library… The seniors need a better place than the “senior center” in Newhall. When my elderly mother moved here from Santa Monica almost a year ago, I was excited that she’d have a place to go that was safe to make new friends and socialize. We toured the “center” and it’s a joke! Dirty, dingy, and it smells of urine. I wouldn’t take my dog there! We have enough libraries. So many in fact, that the Newhall one hardly has any books! Why is this city not doing enough for our seniors?
Completely agree that we do NOT need another library.

I vote no library. Valencia isn’t that far away.
How about on Newhall Ranch Road near the fire station?

A Saugus Community Center maybe ~ for Girl / boy Scout meetings~local events etc. I agree ~ the Senior center is a much more important use of our city money. ( I live in Saugus )

Saugus does not need a library. However, the Valencia library is too small and difficult to access. Better parking And a book drop box on the right side if the street would be nice. Senior center, Paseos like other parts if town have and some stop signs in busy neighborhoods near schools would be $$ better spent
