Claremont authors Collection
Since 2007, the Friends of the Claremont Library have been developing a collection devoted to the works of significant writers who have resided in Claremont or who have an association with the city. Judy Wright, the late Claremont historian, originally conceived the idea for the collection.
Under an agreement with the County of Los Angeles Public Library, the Friends fully owns the cataloged collection. This unique collection is permanently housed in the Claremont Authors Room in the library.
You can view the catalog of the collection online with these instructions.
We welcome additional donations to the collection and accept books, manuscripts and ephemera by Claremont authors that meet the following guidelines:
Please note that any donated materials will be accepted at the discretion of the Friends Claremont Authors Committee.
