介绍:History
The La Crescenta Library was the 78th branch of the Los Angeles County Public Library system when it first opened in November 1914. The first small collection was housed in a local church building with Belle F. Miller as Branch Supervisor. The library subsequently moved several times - once into a school house and later into a local store front, one of which was the Sears building in 1926. By 1932, the library had settled into a building at 3930 La Crescenta Avenue. As the population grew in La Crescenta, so did the demand for a new building. The County finally found an appropriate site, and the library opened in March 14, 1963 with Caroline E. Lehmann as Branch Supervisor. Many librarians have served the La Crescenta community over the years including Emma MacRae from 1925-1927, Evelyn Stewart in the 1970's, and Mary B. Darrow in 1992.
