About the Altadena Library Foundation

Our Altadena Libraries are rapidly evolving to reach even more of Altadena with essential library services, from books and literacy tutoring, to educational events, to community-building initiatives, to technology access, and so much more that “brings people and ideas together.”
 
The Altadena Library Foundation strengthens the mission and resources of the Altadena Libraries through fundraising and advocacy. Established in 2009 initially to address capital improvement projects, the Foundation played a critical role in backing the recent successful campaign that will fund capital projects in perpetuity. We have now expanded our mission to support innovative library programs that progress the definition of modern library services.

2022 Goals

In 2022, as the libraries embark on comprehensive building projects that may temporarily limit the physical spaces in which library services are traditionally provided, the Altadena Library Foundation is pleased to support efforts and services that will equip our libraries to continue serving Altadena outside the library walls. Donations to the Foundation in 2022 support:

Curiosity Connection mobile library operations
Construction of Little Free Libraries in underserved areas of Altadena
Community-wide opportunities to engage in local arts and culture
The Altadena Library Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that supports the Altadena Library District, an independent special library district.

​Donations made to the Altadena Library Foundation are eligible to be tax-deductible.​
