Bob Lucas
Memorial Branch
CONNECT: April 2016
The Bob Lucas MemorialBranch Library and Literacy Center has been serving the West Altadena
neighborhood since its opening in 1957 (and reopening in 1991 after being
closed for 13 years due to Prop 13 budget cuts).
Our history is a rich one with the establishment of
the adult literacy program, Let’s Read Altadena in 1990 at the Branch. The
literacy program is one of few in the region with the next closest one being in
Glendale. The literacy program has provided volunteer opportunities for
community members as tutors and has helped many adults improve their reading
and writing skills over the years.
In addition, the literacy program offers free ESL
classes to students and free one-on-one tutoring for adults. Train to be a
tutor on-line at your own pace and when it is convenient for you. Call
626-798-8338 for more information.
In addition to our literacy programs we offer
craft programs, movies, and games for children. We offer fun flick fridays
showings of popular newly released children movies once a month. Throughout the
year we also run reading programs such as our Winter Reading Program that
encourages kids to read books, complete book reports and earn prizes. Other
activities we offer are DIY inspirations Stations such as the “make your own
Valentine card” station and game days. We also have an exciting line up of
performers for this year’s summer reading program. Whether it be books, crafts,
tutors, classes, community information, research help, study space, computer
access, scanning, copying, printing, or up-to-date DVDs, we have something for everyone
at our library!
