The library has been fully remediated and is now ready to serve the residents of Altadena as they continue their recovery journey.
District Director Nikki Winslow expressed gratitude for the community’s resilience during this challenging time. “Over the past two months, we’ve partnered with many local organizations to support our community, including a fundraising campaign with L.A. County Library to provide free hotspots to our community,” Winslow said. “We also helped staff the L.A. County Parks’ Care Camps, hosted programs at Pasadena Library branches, and participated in 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.”
A vital community resource
For nearly a century, the Altadena Library District has been a vital community resource, offering a space for neighbors to connect, access technology, and engage in creative and educational activities. At the library, residents have access to free Wi-Fi, computers, resources for school assignments, literacy-building programs, a Fab Lab for creativity, and much more. The library also provides unique services such as borrowing materials like books and blood pressure monitors, and showcasing local art and music.
“Our library is deeply committed to supporting Altadena in every way possible,” Winslow added. “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.”
