Please check with your library for dates and times of program and events.
Coming Soon! The Acton /Agua Dulce Library
The County is building a new single-story, 11,350-square-foot library that will serve
the unincorporated communities of Acton and Agua Dulce. The proposed library
will be located on Crown Valley Road just north of Sierra Highway in the unincorporated
area of Acton.
The new library facility will include a large adult reading area, a community meeting
room, a teen area for middle- and high-school students, a children's area with dedicated
storytelling and programming space, a small group study room, express-service
checkout machines at the customer service desk, public access computers with
Internet access, and an opening day collection of 33,050 books and other library
material.
The new library is scheduled to open to the public in November 2009. Currently,
the residents of Acton and Agua Dulce are served by the County Public Library’s
Santa Clarita Valley bookmobile service, which provides mobile library services at
various locations in Acton. For a schedule of service, please call (661) 260-1792 or
