In Simi Valley yesterday to babysit our infant grandson. My wife needed to stop by the library…read morefirst to renew her card from this city. She has them throughout California. This was my first time here. Beautiful building with a fresh look of newness. A good sized space after stepping inside, but seemingly in need of more volumes. As my wife made her way to the service desk, I began scanning the various shelves. I'll usually randomly browse through various non-fiction aisles until I find my favored sections. And as my wife found me, with her arms already loaded down with numerous children's storybooks, we made our way back to the checkout counter. Then exiting with me now carrying half of those books. We'll be helping with our grandson's early learning right away. Reading to them should begin even while they're still in the womb.

There are plenty of places to sit at the library or you check out a book to sit outside in the nearby park or on a bench! At this library you will also find a bookstore! There are amazing deals to be had at this library! Some really great books that are brand new or slightly used can be purchased for under two dollars! And they sell dvds, magazines and more! What a collection! And as for parking, plenty of spaces! Some grab a book and enjoy a good read!

Way easier to use the computer station here than in Simi, though I haven't used them there yet this year so that could've changed.

Also, their used book selection is pretty good, I left my purse in the car to avoid the temptation as I got three books at Simi senior center yesterday...

I've visited just about every library in the Santa Clarita Valley, and the Old Town Newhall Branch…read moretruly stands out. The design of the library is beautiful, and there are so many amenities that I seem to discover something new each time I visit. The facility is extremely well managed and maintained, and you can tell that safety and security are taken seriously, which makes it a comfortable place to spend time reading or working. I'd also like to recognize a staff member named Jacqueline, who consistently greets guests with a warm smile and friendly hello. Her professionalism and welcoming attitude make a real difference. Jacqueline could probably teach a class on customer service--she's that good. This library is a real asset to the community.

It's been almost a decade since I've been to the library. This library is spacious, clean, and…read moreorganized. The circulation desk staff helped me to obtain my library card and answered any questions I had about the library. You no longer pay any overdue/late fees if you're late retuning your book. You only pay if you lose or damage a book. There's an online collection of books, which your library card number and PIN (last 4 digits of your phone number) is the key to opening. You can read a novel on your phone if you decide to use the online collection. If someone has checked out a book either online or physically, you can place a hold on it for whenever it's returned. I placed a hold on a couple of physical books, got an email that they were ready to be picked up, and they scanned my library card and handed me the books. It's just an incredibly easy process. I'm also reading a book online from their digital collection. I feel incredibly foolish not having taken advantage of the library in years! There's free WIFI, plenty of events for kids and adults alike in the library (check the flyers in the library or go online), and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful in helping you find what you need and explaining what the library has to offer. The only bummer is that the library is closed on Fridays and Sundays, but you have 5 other days to make use of the library's free resources!
