Pick-A-Book Reading Program
This program is for children ages four through eighteen and usually runs from January into March. Each child reads five books and chooses one of the books to illustrate. The picture the child draws is displayed in the library for about six months. Once the drawing is presented to staff, the child chooses a brand new book to keep from the bin.

Homebound Program
This program is offered to the homebound residents of Irwindale. Through a partnership between the Irwindale Public Library and the Irwindale Senior Center library items are delivered to residents over 50. Homebound children and adults under 50 receive their deliveries from Library staff. Books and DVDs are delivered every three weeks to members of the program. Items can be renewed by phone. Please call the Library for more information.

 InterLibrary Loan Program
The Interlibrary Loan program enables the Irwindale Public Library to borrow books for patrons from other libraries through the Southern California Library Cooperative. At the moment, there is no charge for this program although that is subject to change.
