The Curiousity Connetion

The Curiosity Connection is Altadena Library District’s library… on wheels!

Purchased in 2021 with funds from the Altadena Library Foundation, our Curiosity Connection allows us to bring library services and resources to all corners of Altadena. Equipped with a built-in roaming Wi-Fi hotspot, our mobile library carries a special collection of books and items from the Library of Things, making it easier for Altadenans to check out materials on the go in their own neighborhood. The Curiosity Connection also allows us to bring pop-up events and educational programs to members of our community that may not be aware of our Altadena Libraries or that have difficulty visiting their local branch due to physical limitations or living in an area of Altadena that is geographically remote.

Our mobile library will visit local schools, neighborhoods, Little Free Libraries around Altadena, and more to help us reach our mission and vision of bringing people and ideas together for an Altadena where all are learning, growing, and thriving together!

Our Curiosity Connection is equipped with:

A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot

A collection of books to check out on the go!
(Funded by a grant from the Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Foundation)

Laptops for remote computer and Wi-Fi access
(Funded by a grant from the Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Foundation)

Games, activities, toys, and more for fun wherever it pops up
