Valencia Library opened October 15, 1969 as a 7,800 square foot building that served around 27,000 people. Fifty years and two renovations later, our 18,000 square foot building is a community hub for nearly 92,000 people!
Karina Reyna, Assistant Manager at Valencia Library, says, “I love knowing and serving this community. I regularly hear stories from customers about their ties to Valencia Library, including Storytime attendees who are now starting college and pop in to say thank you and hello to staff they knew.”
From the Valencia Library family to yours, thank you for 50 wonderful years! We hope to see you on November 2.
