Special Features

The Linda Vista Branch Library has had its own Friends group since the early 1960s. Now called the Linda Vista Associates, they have helped support the library with donations of books, magazine subscriptions, and other gifts.

Through the vision of the Linda Vista Librarian, Robin Reidy, and with a generous donation from the Linda Vista Associates, the Linda Vista Branch Library has the only Decorative Arts Collection in the Pasadena Public Library system. Unlike fine art, the Decorative Arts emphasizes not just aesthetic qualities, but usefulness; therefore, ceramics, gardening, fashion, jewelry, interior design, furniture, pottery, metalwork, and floral decorations demonstrate the definition of Decorative Arts. By creating this specialized collection, the citizens of Pasadena now have an accessible resource to not only embark on new projects, but give them the opportunity to learn more about an art that is often taken for granted.

Linda Vista Branch Library is pleased to offer free wireless Internet access to patrons with appropriately equipped wireless devices.
