Donald R Wright Auditorium

The Pasadena Central Library, designed by the architectural firm of Myron Hunt and H.C. Chambers, opened in 1927 and is recognized for its Mediterranean style. As a historic landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it serves as a vital community resource, housing a collection of over 300,000 items and offering various services, including access to technology and children's programs.

Recently, the library has embarked on a significant earthquake retrofit and renovation project to ensure its continued safety and functionality. The restoration has garnered multiple awards, highlighting its importance as a cornerstone of the Pasadena community and its commitment to preserving history while adapting to modern needs.
