September is Library Card Sign-Up Month!

This September, the Fullerton Public Library invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities.

In addition to checking out books, DVDs, California State Library Parks Passes, hot spots, and digital items, the Fullerton Public Library offers free events, including storytime, tech tutoring, K-POP events, meditation sessions, and more, connecting communities to information, inspiration, and each other. And don’t miss out on our Friends of the Library book store and book sales!

This year’s Library Card Sign Up Month theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone, no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you're diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card.

Summer Reading Wrap Up!

The 2025 Kids’ Summer Reading Club was a rousing success with participants racking up an impressive 649,926 minutes of reading from June 3 to August 2. A total of 895 children registered for the online reading incentive program through the READsquared app. Reader engagement was high with 69% of registrants earning at least one prize level. 356 (39%) of our readers achieved all 7 prize levels! We also had 521 kids attend our three special summer reading events at the Main Library, including Brettso the Great and our End of Summer Celebration.

The library hosts summer reading programs for teens and adults, which continues through September 20, as well. We give many thanks to our fabulous program sponsors who make it all possible: the Friends of the Fullerton Public Library, the Assistance League of Fullerton, Bruster's Ice Cream, Lazy Dog Café, the Old Spaghetti Factory, Patty’s Cakes and Desserts, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, Two Saucy Broads, Yogurtland, and Zombee Donuts. We couldn’t do it without them!

Super Mini-Con Success!

On Saturday, August 9 and Sunday, August 10, the Fullerton Public Library and our community partner, So Cal Game Connection, hosted the first ever North Orange County Super Mini-Con at the Hunt Branch Library!

The event took place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday and featured an overstuffed KALLAX shelf’s amount of pure board gaming goodness. Over 200 attendees learned all about modern and classic board games and how to play them by enjoying board game demos, teaching tables, and special guest speakers! Visitors to the open gaming tables played a bewildering variety of games, including board games, miniatures games, trading card games, and more! The event also featured tournaments and raffles featuring great prizes from our sponsor, The Game Chest Irvine!

All entry fees, donations, and raffle proceeds will support free gaming at the Fullerton Public Library.

Picnic Storytime at Hunt Library!

Hunt Branch Library hosted a special “Picnic” storytime event on the front lawn where over 80 guests gathered with blankets and even a cabana! Families enjoyed fun picnic-themed stories, tasty snacks, and refreshing drinks. The day was filled with laughter, balloons, bubbles, and water play making it a joyful celebration. It was the perfect way to wrap up our summer together. Thank you all who participated!
