The Altadena Library District is reopening its Main Library on Tuesday, March 4, at 10 a.m. following two months of recovery efforts after the Eaton Fire. The library has been remediated and is ready to resume services for residents who are rebuilding their community in the aftermath of the devastating fire.
"Over the past two months, we've partnered with many local organizations to support our community, including a fundraising campaign with LA County Library to provide free hotspots to our community," says District Director Nikki Winslow. "We also helped staff the LA County Parks' Care Camps, hosted programs at Pasadena Library branches, and have been to countless outreach events. But we are so happy to return to our library, to serve Altadenans here in our community. We want the library District to be a symbol of hope and recovery for our community."
For nearly a century the Altadena Library District and its facilities have served as essential community gathering places. At the library, Altadenans connect with their neighbors, use computers and free WiFi, research school assignments and resolve life challenges, build literacy skills, create things in the Fab Lab, download new music and ebooks, check out materials from books to blood pressure monitors, enjoy local art and music, and more.
The reopened Main Library, located at 600 E. Mariposa St., will once again offer its full range of services. The facility serves as a space for community gatherings as residents continue to rebuild from the devastation of the Eaton Fire.
"Our library is deeply committed to supporting Altadena in every way possible," says Winslow. "Whether you are looking for a place to study or work remotely, need reference help, attend a craft or concert, or simply want a familiar space to meet with your neighbors, we are here for you."
The library District plans to resume its programming schedule with the reopening. The first major event will be the Second Saturday concert on Saturday, March 8, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., featuring local band Suavé. The group performs jazz, rock, swing, R&B, and various Latin music styles. To register for this concert and for more information about this and other events, visitors can go to www.altadenalibrary.org/programs.
While the Main Library returns to normal operating hours, the Bob Lucas Memorial Library remains temporarily closed for renovation. The announcement comes from a press release dated February 27, 2025.
