The
Pasadena Community Information Calendar ("Community Calendar"),
provided by the Pasadena Public Library, is a source of local
information specific to the needs and interests of Pasadena residents.
Data
are gathered in a variety of ways. The primary criterion for display of
an event is whether it occurs in Pasadena. Some events outside Pasadena
proper will be included if:
-
they
serve the Pasadena area and provide a unique service not offered by
groups already located within the city;
-
they
have been demonstrated to be closely associated with Pasadena; and/or
-
they
provide Pasadena residents cultural opportunities in neighboring
communities.
Currently, the public can make submissions to the subcalendar that lists
general community activities and events. Library staff will review these
submissions, usually within two business days, and approve or remove them
based on the Community Calendar's focus and criteria, and with regard to
the priorities listed below.
The other subcalendars may receive submissions from the public or only
from official members of the organizations represented, dependent upon
the profile of the particular subcalendar and the needs of its managing
organization. In all cases, approved events will support the stated
goals of the Community Calendar as a whole. If your organization is
interested in managing a subcalendar, please contact the Pasadena
Community Information staff at 626-744-4318 or <
lib_cominfo@cityofpasadena.net >. Responsibilities of such partnerships
will be expressly delineated.
In this phase of development, a large number of events are entered into
the Community Calendar by Library staff. Although every attempt is made
to be thorough, we do prioritize data entry as follows to support the
focus of the Community Calendar and maximize limited resources:
1. Library-sponsored events
2. Events within library facilities
3. City-sponsored events of broad interest
4. Public City meetings of highly topical or focused interest
5. Cancellations of or exceptions to regularly scheduled City meetings
6. Events in which the library and/or the City is a partner
7. Benefits and fundraisers supporting the nonprofit community
8. Seasonal, highly topical, or newsworthy events
9. Events whose sponsors have made the effort to contact the Calendar
project directly
10. Free Pasadena community-oriented events
12. Free or low cost human services for Pasadena (i.e., time-limited
clinics or workshops, etc.)
12. Educational and/or cultural events in Pasadena
13. Other events in Pasadena at major venues
14. Educational and/or cultural events in the surrounding areas
Volunteers are an important part of the Pasadena Community Information
Calendar and Directory. If you are interested in supporting these
projects, please see our page on
volunteer opportunities, or call our volunteer coordinator at
