Over 2 billion items circulate annually in public libraries —almost 10 times more transactions than Amazon’s unit sales of books, movies and music!

"I would like to congratulate the Pasadena Library for having programs for teens. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate these programs. There are not many activities for teens and those that do exist are costly. In this economy it is hard to find a free program for teens. We thank you for providing our teens with activities that they enjoy and learn from. Please keep it up. Teens need it." – Christina Reyes, Central Library Customer
