Fullerton Library Kids Enjoy In-N-Out Burger Cover to Cover Club Reading Success!

Another successful In-N-Out Cover to Cover Club program is in the books, and our stats are phenomenal! This hugely popular program sponsored by In-N-Out Burger occurs every fall at libraries across Orange County. Children ages 4-12, receive a reading log from their participating local library. Then they track their reading activity based on books or minutes read to earn free tasty burgers. This year, we had 771 children register, an 10% increase over last year. An incredible 523 children completed their reading logs to earn the maximum three In-N-Out hamburger gift cards. In fact, most kids who registered and participated, ended up completing the whole program! In total, we awarded 1677 burger gift cards. That’s A LOT of reading! Great job Fullerton kids and parents!

Hunt Library's DIY Drive-In

This past Wednesday, November 26, Hunt Branch Library hosted its very first DIY Box Car Drive-In Matinee. Over 90 drivers and their families designed their own vehicles by choosing wheels, steering wheels, license plates, headlights, taillights, and unique paint jobs. There was even a flying car made! Snacks were eaten, beverage were slurped as the drivers then settled in to watch a showing of Cars.

Fashionable Teens Score Big at Clothing Swap!

On Saturday, November 29, the library teamed up with Sunny Hills High School’s Thrifting Club to host our fourth clothing swap event for teens at the Main Library! A clothing swap is a type of flea market or swap meet where participants exchange their valued but no longer used clothing for new items they will use. Teens in 7th-12th grade were able to bring their gently worn, clean clothing items to swap for new items from other teens to revamp their wardrobes. Cabinet members from the Thrifting Club were excited to help by designing the flyer, decorating the space, and organizing clothing items. While teens searched through the racks of clothes, they could also make fun crafts like art collages, beaded keychains and bracelets, and take pictures at the photo booth. Teens left with new jackets, shirts, pants, and accessories!
