Santa Clarita Public Library Offering Free Events In May

Santa Clarita residents of all ages are invited to enjoy a variety of free events at several Santa Clarita Public Library branches in May.

“Anything that’s fun that draws families in so they can see the other resources we offer (is important),” said Shannon Lane, children’s librarian at the Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Library. “It’s a good way to build relationships with the community that might not come in otherwise, as well as provide cultural events for patrons that do already come in.”
