South Pasadena Library Announces Three-Day Closure for Repairs and Upgrades

Teen area improvements and facility maintenance scheduled for mid-May

The South Pasadena Public Library will temporarily close for three days to complete facility repairs and upgrade the teen area. The closure, scheduled for Tuesday, May 13 through Thursday, May 15, will allow maintenance staff to perform necessary work without public interference.

“On these days there will be no public access to the library building, including restrooms,” states the official library announcement. The closure affects all interior spaces while critical improvements are made.

Despite the building closure, library services will continue in limited capacity.

Curbside book drops will remain open for returns throughout the closure period. The library has also confirmed that expiration dates for held items will be automatically extended to accommodate patrons during this brief interruption.

Several regularly scheduled programs will be affected by the closure. Both the Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning English Language Conversation Groups have been cancelled. However, events scheduled outdoors or in the Community Room will proceed as planned, with access to the Community Room available via the El Centro Street entrance.

The library is located at 1100 Oxley Street, South Pasadena, California, 91030. Normal operating hours are Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
