Lunar New Year Celebration at Hunt Branch!

Hunt Library celebrated Lunar New Year with a special storytime on February 17 with over 300 participants! After a fun bilingual (Mandarin Chinese/ English) storytime about zodiac animals and Lunar New Year celebrations, our attendees were treated to recited poems by Arborland Montessori students. To celebrate the year of the horse, Tara’s Chance brought Ryan the pony for patrons to look and touch. Traditional foods were available such as tangerines, fortune cookies, Yakgwa, Gangjeong, chocolate coins, and dried fruit. Fullerton Chinese School hosted different stations where patrons made different crafts with Korean and Chinese cultural Lunar New Year ties. Hanging lanterns and a wishing tree decorated the main space that put everyone in a festive mood. Thank you to all who celebrated with us!

Special thanks to Tara's Chance, Fullerton Chinese School, and to the Friends of the Library and Fullerton Public Library Foundation for their endless support!

Your Story Counts

Thank you to the community members who filled out the “Every Story Counts” survey from the California State Library. While we expected that most people (94%) come to the Library to borrow books, nearly two-thirds of respondents were also excited about attending the wonderful programs planned by library staff and sponsored by the Friends of the Library. More than 93% of respondents said that they feel welcome at our Library, but we would like that to be 100%, so please feel free to let us know what more we can do. The best part of the responses were all of the wonderfully thoughtful comments from individual community members, highlighting the free fun at the Library, our special spaces of the Local History Room and the Library Café, and how much you all appreciate the help from our library staff team.

Thanks for all the library love!

Author Talk with Linda Avellar

On Saturday, February 21st, Fullerton Public Library, in conjunction with Friends of the Library and the Fullerton Library Foundation, hosted an author talk with author Linda Avellar to discuss her new book, Cassie Linden Finds Her Sweet Spot. Avellar discussed the process of researching,

writing, and publishing her debut novel, did a reading from the book, and answered questions from the audience of nearly 70 attendees.

Attendees enjoyed an afternoon of light refreshments and engaging conversation, and left with a signed copy of the book and a bag, courtesy of the Friends and the Library Foundation.

Staff Development Day Success!

The Library staff team had a special training day on Friday, February 13th presented by California library leaders led by Robert Karatsu and a wellness training by CSUF graduate Paloma Pallante. The trainings were very useful to the FPL team. We appreciate all the presenters, the Friends of the Library for sponsoring the event, and the community as a whole for accommodating the 2:00 pm opening that day.
