History
The first Canyon Country Library opened on September 20, 1971 at 18536
Soledad Canyon Road and was the second permanent library facility
operated by the County Public Library in the Santa Clarita Valley. At
that time, Canyon Country Library replaced the Saugus Mobilibrary. The
Mobilibrary was a cooperative venture between the Saugus Union Elementary
District and the County Public Library. The 5,050 square-foot building
was originally leased from Pierpont Warehouses Corporation, and in 1985,
was purchased by the County Library. On November 17, 2001 the library
was renamed the Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Library moving to a brand
new 17,000 square foot facility (utilizing 12,864 square feet) at 18601
Soledad Canyon Road.
