All visitors to the Altadena Libraries must follow safety protocol to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Please review the required protocol at www.altadenalibrary.org/reopening.
While our physical spaces and curbside services will not be available, all digital library services and phone assistance will continue to be available during this time! Staying safe at home doesn’t have to mean bored at home when you have an Altadena Library card! (Don’t have a card? No worries – you can sign up for a temporary digital card to get access to all our online offerings!)
