Library Card Sign-Up Month!
Got your Pasadena Library Card?

"September is Library Card Sign-up Month.  A time to remind parents and children that a library card is the most important school supply of all"  (American Library Association)

With a library card, you can rent books, movies, music CDs, as well as access our computers and online library. Whether you're searching for the latest bestselling novel or want to reread a favorite book from your youth, or if you want to find a great new recipe or need a study guide for your upcoming exam, a library card is your ticket in.

For more information on getting a Pasadena Library Card , please contact the Central Library at 713.477.0276 or the Fairmont Branch at 281.998.1095.
