Altadena Library Mobile Van to Visit Kidspace Weekly Starting April 3

The collaboration will bring books, resources, and family activities to the museum every Friday afternoon

Families visiting Kidspace Children’s Museum will soon have access to books, library cards, and community resources right outside the museum. Beginning April 3, the Altadena Library District’s Curiosity Connection Vol. 2 mobile library — described as “where family resources meet the road” — will park at Kidspace every Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. as part of a yearlong collaboration between the two institutions.

Visitors can sign up for a library card, check out or return books, browse flyers for upcoming events, and enjoy an outdoor reading space near the van. Families who register for a card will also receive $3 off Kidspace admission for up to four guests.

Kidspace offers free admission on the first Friday of each month, with advance reservations recommended. Tickets are released about two weeks prior to each Free First Friday. The museum is located at 480 North  Arroyo Boulevard in Brookside Park .

Kidspace Children’s Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational and cultural institution, is committed to serving the needs and interests of children and families. The museum welcomes nearly 400,000 guests annually to its 3.5-acre outdoor campus featuring more than 40 interactive exhibits, creative play areas, and water features. Kidspace also provides a range of free and discounted programs and field trips.

The Altadena Library District, which has served the community for 100 years, continues to expand outreach following the Eaton fire. Since January, the district has partnered with hundreds of organizations to share resources and support recovery efforts. 

“Families and children can sign up for a library card, check out or return books, grab library swag and flyers for upcoming events, and enjoy an outdoor reading space near the van,” the release stated. Visit kidspacemuseum.org for availability
