Tim McDonald, Director of Libraries and Information Services, is pleased to announce the
return of the Pasadena Loves YA book festival to the Pasadena Public Library on Saturday, September 23, from noon-4:00 p.m. at Jefferson Branch Library, 1500 E. Villa Street. The festival will host 17 Young Adult authors and present a series of panels and book signings. Registration not required.

Since 2014, Pasadena Loves YA was presented annually at Pasadena Central Library through 2020. In 2021 and 2022, smaller events transpired in place of a full-length festival. This year, Pasadena Loves YA is returning as a full-length book festival. View images of past events on the Teens Blog at https ://pasadena-library .net/teens/tag/book-festival/
Pasadena Loves YA is presented by Pasadena Public Library in partnership with Bridge to Books, a grassroots community group, and supported by educators, youth interns, and numerous teen volunteer groups across the city.
