The City of Alhambra’s 90th Rose Parade Float titled “Story Time,” was displayed to thousands of parade watchers around the world on January 1st in Pasadena.

Alhambra Civic Center Library, which celebrated its 110th birthday in 2017, as one of the many groups that support the city.

The city sponsored float displays floral bees surrounding an over- sized flower where a lady- bug hovers nearby as the Book Worm takes center stage in a beautiful flower filled garden reading his favorite book checked out of the Alhambra Library, Tales from the Alhambra.

This years theme according to the “Around Alhambra” Newspaper was chosen because the City of Alhambra is proud of the Alhambra Civic Center Library, which is one of the busiest libraries in California, circulating as many as 500 items an hour. On average, about 44,000 patrons visit the Library every month and check out about 550,000 items every year.

The City of Alhambra believes libraries are capable of “Making a Difference” in the communities they serve.
