While the main site is closed, the district is operating passport services at the Altadena Community Center (by appointment), expanding weekend passport access at the Bob Lucas branch and offering free notary services at two locations. The district also runs two mobile 'Curiosity Connections' units that visit six weekly stops (including Grocery Outlet, Webster's, Triangle Park and Kids Space).
