    Haven't been here for awhile. I read in Outlook that the library installed new doors. I wish they used the money to update their computers!! It's STILL SLOW LIKE MOLASSES!!! I was having a fit!! Come on!! Why can't they do something about the computers?!?!

    great place to bring children to read and study. I found it quite for myself to do some reading even though most of my work is on the ipad.

    The noisiest library I have ever been to. Even the librarians themselves are loud and don't care. Do not come here to study!

    Absolutely lovely library! It's deceptively huge - and surrounded by the most peaceful gardens and…read moregrounds - just lovely! They're currently showcasing a small exhibit of beautiful native California bee photos by local conservation photographer Krystle Hickman which was the reason for my visit. The exhibit is found in a small seating area in the center of the library. It's almost like a little outdoor courtyard in the middle of the library! Lots of natural light and plants surround cozy seats and the back wall is highlighting the bee photos - it's a very beautiful small gallery and I'm so glad I visited! Her work with the native California bees has been significant. I took a class with her at the LA Arboretum this year and learned SO much! So I was very excited to learn this library was promoting her work! There's plenty of parking in their large lot. They have a water conservation garden section outside with interesting info on plants and wildlife. They have a huge beautiful art piece near the door. You have to climb several small flights of stairs to enter this way - but there's a handicap entrance around the corner in the front. The inside is quiet and very welcoming with friendly, helpful staff. Definitely a great place to relax, read, and get work done.

The community room was a nice size with rows of tables and chairs. This library is historical in Altadena and has an old-school nostalgic vibe. Everyone was nice. It has easy parking and is great for finding items needed for research, etc.

    Wow- is the building almost 100 years old? Built / opened in 1927, when walking into the building,…read moreit feels like you have stepped back in time. Many nearby libraries have undergone major renovations and if you are a fan of older buildings, this would be a place to visit. Within 10 or so steps you can easily find yourself on the next floor - there are 4 floors altogether and the main floor is the 2nd floor. (+) free 3 hour parking (+) reasonable amount of seating in certain areas. Not as much seating amongst books. (+) decent variety of magazines There seems to be constant complaints of the homeless population, but this is typical of any city library. As long as they are respectful, I am OK with that. I hate to rate a public resource low or average, but the experience was mediocre at best. The stairs are very industrial-like and loud and the carpet looks like it could be cleaned. With all the taxes the city of Pasadena collects, there should be more done to preserve its charm.

    Three years for a retrofit?? Seriously hope tax dollars aren't going to this place considering they…read morehave been closed for 2 years and aren't scheduled to be open until end of 2023. When it was open the building was cool and a great place to study. Security guard was on a power trip and spent his time telling people to put their water bottles away instead of dealing with the homeless that were sleeping there or causing a ruckus. Why was this person not fired is beyond me. City of Pasadena needs new leadership if it takes 3 years for a retrofit. Ridiculous and poorly run--play it again sam welcome to LA --land of the incompetent.

    If you've been bitten by the genealogical bug like me, you will eventually learn that some of the…read morebest genealogists in the country are affiliated with Church of the Latter-day Saints (aka the Mormons) for reasons of theology, history and culture. In an effort to continue their process of recording genealogical data for what seems like every person, living or deceased, that has taken breath on this planet of ours, they have accumulated an extensive library of books, microfilm, and online records that genealogists all over the world revere. And it's available to you, along with volunteer genealogical consultation, at your local Family History Center. For free. I've visited the La Crescenta Family History Center several times, trying to track down the details on my ancestors. Keep in mind that I am not of the Mormon faith when I tell you that the volunteers here were extremely friendly and helpful. They showed me how to access various different genealogy websites, including Ancestry and some others I'd never heard of, for no charge. The church must pay the subscription prices because those websites are not free. And they answered a barrage of questions from this newbie genie fan with patience and humor. They will also print out any records for you; a nickle per page donation is suggested. You may park in the lot or on the street. Call ahead to make sure someone's there; hours are limited.
