Local Media Covers City National Bank’s Book Vending Machine Donation

Dec 10, 2025

The San Gabriel Valley Tribune and other local media covered City National's book vending machine donation to Eliot Arts Magnet, a school in Pasadena, that was forced to temporarily move after it was damaged during the Eaton Fire this past January.  The donation is part of the bank’s efforts to encourage and inspire children to read. The students and staff were very appreciative and thrilled with their new gift. 

Students at Eliot Arts Magnet enjoy their new books from the vending machine.


This year alone, City National donated book vending machines to nine schools across LA County and Atlanta.
