    Episode 6: Episode 6 - Cafe De Leche & Read Local Shop Local
    Jul 12 2021

    Altadena has had a strong and vibrant coffee culture for years and one of our prized local businesses is Cafe De Leche, on Lake Avenue. Our own Mikayla Arevalo sat down with Matt and Anja, owners of Cafe De Leche, for a chat about their store and how they came to love life here in Altadena. Later Mikayla chats with Altadena Library District Assistant Library Director Viktor Sjoberg about Read Local Shop Local, a new initiative to bring together library patrons with local businesses, where they can receive discounts and deals simply by presenting their library card.

  • Episode 5 - Having An Equitable Summer

    Episode 5 - Having An Equitable Summer
    May 22 2021

    Summer is almost upon us, and in this episode of TIA, we will learn more about our brand-new plans for summer services through interviews with our Youth & Family Services Manager Mylinh Hamlington and our Teen Librarian Isabelle Briggs.

    Much of this work is influenced by the Altadena Library District’s participation in bi-weekly co-design sessions with the California State Library and the California Library Association. Together, we are designing a new, more equitable, framework for summer programs in California libraries. We will start our episode by learning more about this co-design process of making summer services more equitable through an interview with the State Library staff and consultants behind the project.

    Episode 4 - The Altadena Farmer's Market & Seed Library
    Apr 2 2021

    Spring has sprung here in Altadena, and nature's bounty is on full display at our local beloved Farmer's Market. Altadena Library staffer Chloe Cavelier sits down for an instructive and delightful chat with chef, master gardener and owner/operator of the Altadena Farmer's Market, Stacey Whitney. Later Chloe catches up with Jessica Yarger and Su Falcon of the Altadena Seed Library, who offer training and tips on everything from saving and sowing seeds, composting, foraging, water harvesting and even backyard chicken raising. We hope you'll be inspired to stretch out your green thumb and take in the spirit of the season.
