The closure will last until October, and comes as part of a larger effort to seismically repair the city’s historic Central Library.
The Pasadena Public Library’s Allendale Branch Library will close until October, officials said Friday, Aug. 5, citing needed seismic and roofing repairs.
“These improvements will allow the Allendale Branch to better serve the community,” according to a city statement. The work comes as the city’s 100-year-old Central Library itself is being seismically retrofitted, a multi-year endeavor. The beloved site, which served about 55,000 people a month, was set to reopen when, at the time, pandemic restrictions began to lift. But ultimately, the closure has library planners scrambling in search for a space to temporarily house its extensive collection.
