Seven Ways to Use Your Library Card

Written By Brin Wall

To celebrate National Library Week, we asked our staff and volunteers their favorite ways to use their Altadena Library cards. How many of the following did you know about?

  • Check out sewing machines, telescopes, hiking backpacks, blood pressure monitors, and more through the Library of Things collection.

  • Access over 400,000 ebooks and audiobooks through cloudLibrary.

  • Watch popular movies and listen to the hottest new music releases on hoopla.

  • Participate in on-site programs and events.

  • Access an online community calendar, local news, and resources through Altadena Connections.

  • Tap into a secure Wi-Fi network at home by checking out a Wi-Fi hotspot or laptop.

  • Check out video games and movies for all ages.
