The LA County Library website will undergo scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, December 2 from 7 am to 9 am. During this window there may be a brief period of downtime.
The rainy season provides the opportunity to learn about and look for rainbows in the sky above our neighborhood. When the sun shines through drops of water in the air, we can see the colors in the sun rays, a rainbow! For ages 5 - 12.
Craft a rainy cloud with a sun peeking out, and draw a rainbow learning the 7 colors and their order.
The La Cañada Flintridge Library was established in May 1913 and was originally housed in the rear of a general store. It was the second branch of the Los Angeles County Public Library system.
The library was moved in 1915 to the La Cañada Elementary School where it remained through 1934. At that time, the library relocated again to a Foothill Boulevard store location where it stayed until June 1947.
A La Cañada Elementary School shop building provided temporary quarters until a library was built and opened on February 22, 1951. The library's current building was opened on June 16, 1971.
The library was refurbished in 1998 to freshen the interior and the checkout desk was replaced in 2002.
