I found out last Christmas that Altadena is not part of Pasadena’s library system, so of course within a month I found an excuse to swing up there and check it out. Another mid-century civic building for me to love. This was also how I learned the hard way what happens when I check out books at libraries well outside my well-trodden paths- getting that long overdue copy of Thomas and the Big Big Bridge back to the library ended up being a dedicated trip to itself.
