National Library Week: Find Your Joy at the Library!

\n \n

Fullerton celebrated National Library Week, April 19-25, with festive décor and programs celebrating the importance of libraries and library workers in the communities they serve. Balloons festooned the circulation and desk areas. Twilight Tales Evening Storytime at Main Library was a National Library Week celebration with stories, cookies, coloring sheets, and more! Children were invited to explore their creative storytelling skills by constructing their own books. Family Storytime at Hunt Library also featured library-themed stories and fun. At our Seasonal Craft Night for adults and teens, book cover bedazzling was the highlight! Participants selected personal or donated books to bedazzle with sparkly rhinestones! An unexpected treat came from Summer Reading Club donor, Lazy Dog Café, who surprised library staff with a delicious sandwich and salad lunch! Indeed, patrons and staff alike definitely found their joy at the library!

Books Get Bedazzled at the Library!

\n \n

On Wednesday, April 15, Fullerton Public Library hosted a Seasonal Craft Night where adults and teens were invited to bring their own books—or choose from a selection of titles provided through our Friends of the Library—and “bedazzle” the covers using a variety of colorful rhinestones! Patrons planned out where they wanted to add some bling, spread a thin amount of glue, and applied tiny rhinestones using tweezers and wax pencils. At the end of the event, all attendees left with a beautifully decorated book. Patrons described the craft as fun and relaxing, and one noted that she appreciated the “midweek respite and bonding opportunity with my kid.”

Thank you to the Friends of the Fullerton Library for supporting this program!
