Used Book Sale (Photo – C. G. P. Grey)
Celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2019, the Friends of the Altadena Library organization is raising funds and awareness for the vast range of events and programs at the Altadena Libraries.
In previous years, the Friends have held one massive annual book sale each May. Famous across the LA basin and beyond, it attracts buyers from as far away as Las Vegas! However, due to changes in space allocation and increases in book donations, they have decided to add another two huge book sales each year.
