LUCERNE VALLEY, San Bernardino County — The Lucerne Valley Janice Horst Branch Library is more than a place to borrow books: the county’s October 2026 calendar lists hands-on children’s activities and other programs in the High Desert community.

The San Bernardino County Library event calendar identifies a Discover Art program for October 15, 2026, and an Astro Activities session for October 20, 2026, each scheduled for 4–5 p.m. The listings describe creative, hands-on activities for children. The October 15 session is a same-day listing, not a future appointment; readers should check whether it has already ended.

Where is the library and when does it open?

The county lists the Janice Horst Branch at 33103 Old Woman Springs Road in Lucerne Valley. The library’s current branch directory describes its location as 33103 High Desert State Scenic Highway, another name used for that roadway. The county directory lists the following regular hours:

  • Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: 11 a.m.–7 p.m.
  • Thursday: 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
  • Friday: closed.
  • Saturday: 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
  • Sunday: closed.

Temporary closures and special events can change the schedule. The current county directory gives the library phone number as 760-261-6020. A separate older venue listing displays a different number; use the county’s central branch directory for the newest contact details.

Why community calendars matter in rural areas

For Lucerne Valley families, an in-person local activity can mean fewer long trips to Victorville or other High Desert communities. Public libraries also provide information resources and connections to county services that may be difficult to access otherwise.

Parents should confirm the age group, registration requirements and whether supplies are provided. The county’s listings for the October art and space activities identify the Kids Zone audience as ages 6–11. A posted listing does not guarantee that places remain available.
