Q. Do you have information on the history of Pasadena?

Yes, we do. Our Pasadena History Collection is located in Central Library's Centennial Room, 285 E. Walnut St. Library branches also have select materials. For details about the collection, or for assistance with research or materials from the Centennial Room collection, while Central Library is closed pending necessary earthquake retrofit work, contact library staff. You can use the Ask Us! system to submit a ticket, or request an in-person consultation with Library Staff by scheduling a Book Us appointment, available from our Questions & Help page.
