In 2014, local Altadena voters approved Measure A to continue vital programs, services, and resources for 10 years. This was an extension of a previous measure that had been implemented and extended since 1993 to address substantial state cuts. Measure A covers about one-quarter of the Library District’s operating budget, providing important programs, services, and resources, up-to-date materials, Library days and hours, and support, education, events, and activities for families, children, teens, and seniors. In June of 2025, Measure A will expire, at which time Measure Z will replace it to continue funding library operations. Until then, Measure Z funds will only be used for much-needed capital improvements at both our Main and Branch locations.
