Open House Slated for New Canyon Country ACCESS Site

College of the Canyons will hold an open house Saturday, Nov. 17, at its new ACCESS educational center in Canyon Country. The open house will be held in conjunction with grand-opening festivities for the Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Library, in which the college's facility is located. The open house begins at 10 a.m., and the public is welcome to attend.

College of the Canyons is leasing a portion of the building from the City of Santa Clarita and County of Los Angeles, both of which developed the facility to replace the existing and much-smaller Los Angeles County Library in Canyon Country. The five-classroom ACCESS center began instruction with nearly 1,000 students in the fall 2001 semester.

The library is named for longtime Councilwoman Jo Anne Darcy, who has served on the Santa Clarita City Council since the city was founded in 1987.

The ACCESS site is located at 18601 Soledad Canyon Road in Canyon Country. For more information, call ACCESS at (661) 362-5800.
