“The City of Santa Clarita assumed responsibility for public library services in July 2011 with the goal of improving services for the Santa Clarita community,” the news release explained. “Since this transition, library hours and the annual budget for books and materials were increased, and the Old Town Newhall Library was opened on Main Street.”
