LIBRARY SILENT AUCTION

Recent donations to the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library 
Book Sale Committee have contained some very special books 
including several signed first editions. These exceptional books 
will be featured in the Committee’s first Silent Auction to be held 
in the Sierra Madre Public Library, 440 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., 
Sierra Madre from Monday, October 1 through Monday, October 
29. The books will be on display in the display case in the library’s 
main room. To inspect the books more closely, visit the library 
every Saturday in October from 1-2 PM. 

Bidding sheets and rules will be available in a notebook located on 
the library’s checkout counter. Each of the fifteen books for sale 
at the auction will be numbered and will have a corresponding 
numbered bid sheet in the notebook. Bidders are asked to 
write their bid amounts and a contact telephone number on the 
appropriate bid sheet. At 7:30 PM on Monday, October 29, bid 
sheets will be removed from the notebook and placed on a table 
in the library for last minute bids. Bidding will close promptly 
at 8 PM on October 29. Winning bidders will be notified by 
telephone the next day and will then be able to pick up their books 
at the library.

Proceeds from the Silent Auction will benefit the Sierra Madre 
Library’s programs, services, and acquisitions. For more 
information, visit our website at www.sierramadrelibraryfriends.

PASADENA HUMANE 

SOCIETY BEGINS DOG LICENSE 
CANVASING

The Pasadena Humane Society has begun 
door-to-door canvasing to ensure 
that all dogs in Sierra Madre are licensed. 

By law, every dog must wear a current 
license tag at all times. The Pasadena 
Humane Society issues dog licenses for 
Arcadia, La Cañada/Flintridge, San Marino, 
and Sierra Madre. Dog licenses 
may be obtained at any time of year, and 
are good for one year from that date. 
Dogs must be 4 months or older, and 
you must provide a current rabies certificate. 
Licenses must be renewed every 
year, even though the license tags are 
permanent.

You may purchase your dog’s license at 
the Pasadena Humane Society front office 
during business hours or at City 
Hall. Please call PHS at 626-792-7151 
x115 or email licensing@phsspca.org if 
you have any questions. The licensing 
officers are available at PHS Tuesday-
Friday from 2 pm-6 pm and Saturday 2 
pm-5 pm.
