The oldest independent bookstore in Southern California, open since 1894, with the entire second floor devoted to children's books and toys, nooks where little ones can sit and page through books, and free storytimes year-round; the first choice in Pasadena on a rainy or scorching day.
💡 Tips
Storytimes are usually on weekend mornings; check the website calendar. There is a coffee shop on the first floor. Plenty of places to eat on the same street, and Old Pasadena is a 10-minute walk.What this place offers
