The Public is Invited to Attend this Free Event
The Friends of Azusa City Library, in conjunction with the Azusa Historical
Society, will be celebrating the Azusa City Library Centennial "Over 100 Years of
Library Service" on Sunday, September 26, 2004 from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm as part of the
regularly scheduled Azusa Historical Society general meeting.
Library service in Azusa dates back to the 1890's when a group of concerned
citizens formed a book club in the Brunges Hotel, originally located at the southeast
corner of Foothill Blvd and Azusa Avenue'>For a $0.25 annual fee, members were
allowed unlimited access to a 30-book collection. Soon, the Azusa Woman's Club
stepped in and housed the growing library collection at Azusa City Hall. In 1909, the
City of Azusa received a grant from steel magnet Andrew Carnegie to construct a
public library. This grant was one of several awarded across the United States. In 1959
the current Azusa Library was opened and began serving Azusa and surrounding
communities with a myriad of services. Today, Azusa is one of several cities competing
for a State of California Library Bond for funds to construct a new state-of-the-art
library facility that will serve the community through the new millennium. State grant
awards will be announced in October 2004.
As part of the Centennial Celebration, library staff and patrons will perform a
unique skit denoting the past, present, and future of the Azusa City Library. A silent
auction on collectable books is also scheduled. The public is invited to attend.

Library, at (626) 334-8428.
