Friends of the Library
Content Body
Established in 1959, the Friends of the Altadena Library is a non-profit organization of individuals interested in the Altadena Library and its community. The purpose of the Friends is to stimulate public interest in the library, assist with funding to purchase library materials, and to support cultural and educational programs at the Altadena Library.
As a Friend, your support will help to raise funds for books and materials, support Children's and Young Adult programs, and offer educational and informative programs. Recent donations include new furniture, computer equipment, and books for both the Main and Branch Libraries.
- Annual Cookies and Poetry progam
- Annual Art show and sale by local artists
- Annual Musical programs
- Annual Used Book Sale
- Noted author lectures and book signings
- Young Adult and Children's Summer Reading programs
The Friends' Bookstore is situated just inside the entrance across from the Checkout desk.
The shelves are filled with a collection of donated children's and adult books, DVDs, CDs, and magazines, very reasonably priced. All proceeds go toward the purchase of library materials.
The library has new releases of current movies on DVD, available for checkout at $1.00 per title for a week.

- Regularly published newsletter
