On the tails of the Fullerton Public Library's Adult Winter Reading Club, library love is definitely in the air! Throughout February, you're invited to come find your "match" through a Mystery Date with a Book. Check out a wrapped book from our lobby display, "Rate your Date," with our special review slips, and return your ratings to the library by March 5 for a chance to win a special prize (as if a date with one of these "available" books weren't special enough). Interested? Check out our fun video promo for more details. As one of our past matches stated about their date, "It was true love!"

Staff submitted a grant application on February 1st to improve historic infrastructure and clean city rights-of-way. The grant has $296 million of funding that will be spread throughout the entire state. Funding is intended for beautification, waste disposal, public space improvements, and advancement of equity for underserved communities.

Fullerton used this grant opportunity to request funding for two separate infrastructure projects and improve the City's litter abatement capacity focusing on the Downtown and southern sections of the City. Staff submitted two infrastructure projects which will beautify the Hunt Branch Library and the courtyard at the Fullerton Police Department.
