As our city continues to grow, it is important that every resident has easy access to all the resources we have available. Which is why I am proud to share that the city of Santa Clarita Public Library is introducing a new mobile library that will bring services directly to our residents throughout the city.

Our community is rich with history, blending the spirit of the Old West with the history of our great natio, especially in our parks. When Santa Clarita incorporated in 1987, we only had eight parks. Today, we are home to more than three dozen, and this year, we are excited to welcome not just two new parks, but two historical landmarks, the Pioneer Oil Refinery and the iconic William S. Hart Park, both located in Newhall.
