Prize level 5 earned kids a snazzy certificate and a free book. Great job, kids!

Many thanks as well to our fabulous program sponsors: the Friends of the Fullerton Public Library, Old Spaghetti Factory, Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, Two Saucy Broads Pizza, Wahoo's Fish Taco, and Yogurtland. We couldn’t do it without them!

New Paint for a New Year

Oh, the Places Your Donations Go!

The Friends of the Library presented the Library with a check of their annual financial support at their January meeting. This $75,250 goes into a fund that supports so much Library fun throughout the year, including ALL Library programs, many great resources in OverDrive, and much more, including this month’s popular Mystery Date with a Book and the Summer and Winter Reading Clubs. If you attended last month’s wonderful book sale, this is where your donations go!
