Help Altadena Library and Altadena Town Council Build An Altadena Community Quilt

Saturdays in June and July

Do you want to meet your neighbors, give back to the Altadena Community, and learn botanical printing from the Altadena Library Artist in Residence? Then, we invite you to join us at the Main Library one Saturday in June or July to learn botanical printing from Linda Illumanardi. You will leave this 6-hour class with two of your own prints while a third print will become part of a community quilt.

Join Our Updated Read Local, Shop Local Rewards Program!

Read Local, Shop Local has been revamped! This updated library rewards program motivates Altadenans to visit and “check in” with a rewards card at local participating businesses to earn exclusive library district merchandise.

Participating businesses check a box on the card for each visit and display a flyer each month. In return, we feature the business in our monthly in-library display, on our webpage, and spotlight it in an issue of our eConnect newsletter. 

 

For full details about program benefits for both library users and local businesses, visit us at www.altadenalibrary.org/shoplocal
