South Pasadena Public Library

Hello Bonnie, All library materials - including CDs and DVDs - can be returned in the book return bins located outside the library building at 1100 Oxley Street. These bins are checked multiple times a day. Feel free to contact us at (626) 403-7350 with any further questions. Thank you, SPPL Staff

In checking the library events calendar, at least currently, the answer appears to be no. Perhaps because of construction. You may want to check with the library about computer classes. I'm sure they have many books on computers for beginners.

From library website: By 1916 the South Pasadena Library had already outgrown its quarters and the Carnegie Corporation granted another $6,000 for an expansion, enabling the addition of a sunroom and a basement auditorium. The Library was dismantled in 1928 and moved from the northeast corner of Diamond and Center Streets to its present location in the center of Library Park. But by 1930 the facility was yet again in need of increased space and Marsh was called upon once more. He and his partners D.D. Smith and Herbert J. Powell came up with a new architectural style for the renovation, this time in the then-popular Mediterranean Revival style. The full-blown makeover brought the balconies, arches, and the ornate wrought iron door, which still secures the main entrance to what has been the Library’s Community Room since 1982.
