Library Construction Closure Ends August 5th!

We are excited to announce that both of the Library’s elevators have passed inspection and we can re-open to normal hours beginning Tuesday, August 5th. We will still open the Main Library at 2:30 pm on July 31st and August 1st. The End of Summer Celebration beginning at 1:00pm on July 31st will be in the Library Conference Center though the rest of the Library opens later in the day. The Friends of the Library Bookstore will also return to normal hours on August 5th and we thank the Friends volunteers and bookstore customers for accommodating the construction schedule.

This project would not have been possible without grant funds from the California State Library, matching funds from both the Fullerton Public Library Foundation and Friends of the Library, and the City’s Public Works department team – thank you all for your contributions to making this project a success!

The festive energy continued with live dance cover performances by Chodingz by BBCAT and KMCC, who brought the house down with their sharp choreography and passion for K-Pop. With every beat drop and every glittering craft, the event brought the community together in joyful celebration of music, self-expression, and shared fandom. Thank you to all who attended!
