The young man, Quellen (I hope I spelled his name correctly) who helped us, was very polite, knowledgeable and professional. Front desk staff were also very pleasant. The atmosphere of this library is calm and is well maintained. Would definitely come back to this location to book passport services or if ever in the area, utilize library services.

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.

One of the most impressive libraries I've ever been to! Loved the parking lot size, the floor…read moreseparation of teens/children to adults, and the comfortable and updated furniture inside. There are several staff that are approachable and easy to get assistance from, and bathrooms are kept clean. I definitely think this is a great spot to get work done, the wifi speed is quicker than my data around the area with my low network speeds!! Already want to come back here again!!

I enjoyed using this library for my midterm studying. It was quiet and a friendly environment. I…read moreenjoyed the atmosphere very much so.

The staff here…read moreas long as you communicate well with them, are very accommodating and exceedingly professional. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns if they do not have the answers for you that you are looking for, they will find them, or will try their best to. I recommend all of the Santa Clarita City libraries, but this one in particular I give a real hard 5 out of 5 stars.

I came to this library with my baby daughter this morning to check out their kids area. We were…read moreeating breakfast at a place next door so when my daughter started getting fussy, I took her here. The library is very nice inside and quiet. We came when they just open so there wasn't a lot of people inside. They have a security guard watching the entrance and he was nice. The kids area is right when you walk inside on the left. They have some toys for the kids to play with but no toys for like toddlers or infants. I just showed my daughter the different books the library has and did some light reading to her.

This is not so much a review for itself per se, just a bit of a correction in case anyone else,…read morelike me, was looking for a place to work where they can sit outside. The outside courtyard doesn't actually belong to the library, it belongs to the local businesses. So in order to sit there, you need to buy something from the restaurant. If you're trying to find an outdoor space with a bathroom where you can work for free, unfortunately, this isn't it.

The Huntington is one of the most beautiful places in Southern California. Every garden is…read moremeticulously maintained, and you can easily spend an entire day exploring the different landscapes. The Chinese Garden & Japanese Garden was especially stunning, with peaceful ponds, traditional architecture, and incredible views around every corner. The Japanese Garden, bonsai collection, and conservatories were equally impressive. The grounds are spotless, the staff is friendly, and there are so many quiet places to slow down and appreciate nature. If you enjoy photography, this place is a dream--there are beautiful photo opportunities everywhere you look. I also enjoyed browsing the gift shop before leaving. Whether you're looking for a relaxing afternoon, inspiration, or just a break from the city, The Huntington is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely be back.

Wasn't able to 1/3 despite spending 3 hours there. You will need to bring sunscreen and water especially during the summer. Of all things would recommend going to the Chinese pavilion and European house/ rose garden. Both of them are by far the most spectacular especially the Chinese pavilion. It so zen and rich with beautiful architecture and biome of life and gardening is spectacular. If you become filthy rich this is the garden you would want. Haha The European house and grounds is beautiful and lush. Great place to enjoy the old money vibes and get your pics at the rose garden.

The selection of books, cd's, dvds, and games is great! They even have thick board books in different languages for the babies. Then after you've selected some books for the week you take a short walk over the bridge and they have a turtle pond, two playgrounds for different age groups, and even a duck pond. It seems like you can rent a covered picnic table area to host an event. It really is a neat spot. The library staff is also kind and helpful! Definitely reccomend brining your kiddos here!

Love this library, it is clean, beautiful, and the staff is amazing! However, I wish the following…read morethree issues could be attended to. 1. Chill with the A/C y'all! It's always too cold in here. Whether it's a heatwave outside or a monsoon, my fingers are always frozen. 2. There is no quiet. Especially the first floor is like a talk show. People are holding regular volume conversations about youtube videos and what not. You're in a library!!! It's ridiculous. 3. Sick students. I mean the person sounds like they are dying and yet they thought it was a good idea to bring their plagued self into a closed public place and spend hours coughing and sneezing without even covering their mouth. You'd think they're auditioning for a zombie movie. Their parents clearly failed, but why is the library failing? A friendly "Stay Home if You're Sick" sign would be so helpful! OR maybe a dedicated "Sick Bay" corner. I've changed rooms four times in just 2.5 hours! Come on people!
