It’s Time for March Madness at the Fullerton Public Library!
We are proud to introduce Fullerton Public Library’s very first March Madness Tournament of Books. After much heated (for librarians) discussion and spirited debate, Fullertons elite selection committee have chosen 32 books from four different genres to compete in a bracket-style tournament to decide which book will reign supreme in 2022.
To participate, fill out an official Fullerton Public Library Bracket Form—available at fullertonlibrary.org or inside the library—and return it to the Ask Here Desk by March 25. Don’t forget to write your name and contact information on the back for a chance to win fun prizes (and bragging rights!).
Once the brackets are in, check out the Jumbo Bracket Board inside the library lobby and vote for your favorite book in each match-up. Every five days, we will post the results and move on to the next round until there is only one: the Fullerton Public Library March Madness Tournament of Books Champion!

Fullerton Announces New Virtual Queue System
COVID created the need for our City staff to adapt to the changing business environment and remain open while ensuring a safer environment for staff and visitors.
One of the solutions to keep social distancing while providing services is using a virtual queue management system.
The City of Fullerton is happy to announce a new virtual queuing system available to all customers.
The virtual queue management system places customers in a virtual waiting line or queue, where they don't have to physically wait in line to get a service. Customers sign in to the queue via a link through a QR code or a web portal remotely or at City Hall, which means they can sign on wherever an internet connection is available.
You can sign in by using the button below.
