The Bob Lucas Memorial Library and Literacy Center will hold its grand reopening celebration Saturday, August 16, at 10:00 a.m., following a yearlong renovation.
The library at 2659 Lincoln Ave. closed April 10, 2024, for comprehensive renovations led by the Altadena Library District.
“Bob Lucas believed in the power of the written word to change lives,” said Nikki Winslow, Altadena Library District Director.
“This reopening is not just about a building, it’s about honoring that belief and continuing to provide our community with the services, spaces and resources they need to achieve their dreams.”
The library honors Robert “Bob” Lucas, who in 1971 recognized West Altadena’s need for accessible educational resources, especially for youth unable to reach the main branch.
The celebration will feature festivities, family activities, and tours of upgraded facilities with improved access and modern amenities.
