Thank YOU for a Fabulous Taste of 'Dena!

In this period of social distancing, this year's Taste of 'Dena was presented as an online watch party in September 2020, preceded by a digital silent auction and mystery wine pull. Thanks to the generosity of our community, this year's Taste of 'Dena raised over $20,000 to help purchase... (drum roll, please!) a mobile library unit! This unit will provide roaming access to Wi-Fi, books, technology, outreach programs, and whatever else our creative library staff can imagine. In an amazing community like ours, we’re truly all in this together.

​This is just one more way the Altadena Library is responding to the needs of all our neighbors.

Expanding Critical Services to ALL of Altadena

 While our two Altadena Libraries are currently able to serve thousands of Altadenans each year with critical resources and programs, a mobile Altadena Library on wheels would allow even more of our community to benefit from all that the libraries can offer, including improved access to print materials, Wi-Fi, technology experiences, educational programs, literacy services, and more!

14% of households in Altadena do not have an Internet subscription. 25% of Altadena is under the age of 18. 11% of Altadenans ages 25+ do not ​have a high school diploma.

Everyone deserves a chance to explore, expand, and connect with their curiosity. The Altadena Libraries bring people and ideas together for an Altadena where all are learning, growing, and thriving together. Your gift brings us one step closer to a brand new library branch... on wheels!

Past Events

Every year the Altadena Library Foundation gathers our community for an evening of celebration! Hundreds gather in the Altadena Main Library, adorned with twinkling lights and all abuzz from a variety of local restauranteurs preparing delicious bites for guests, to honor the Altadena Library District's commitment to serving its community and to raise critical funds to support library operations and offerings.
