County to Open Up Criteria for Testing
Beginning this Thursday, April 30, at all testing locations, people age 65 and older as well as healthcare or public safety workers can get tested even if they are not experiencing any symptoms. This is in addition to residents who are experiencing at least one COVID-19 symptom (fever, cough or shortness of breath).
 Important Reminder: Non Essential Businesses Remain CLOSED
In accordance with a County Health Order effective April 25, the County of San Bernardino has re-opened County-operated parks and lakes and is allowing the opening of city-owned and private parks, lakes, trails, and golf courses on a limited scale for passive recreation.
There are no changes in the Health Order regarding restrictions still in place on non-essential businesses. Essential businesses are allowed to remain open with restrictions. To read more on what is considered an essential or non-essential business, as well as more details on what comprises passive recreation, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the County’ COVID-19 website.
 Find eBooks, Music and Even Earn a Diploma at the County Library Online
With stay-at-home orders still in place, we know our County residents are hungry for information and entertainment sources that can educate and amuse. But did you know you can still look to the County Library for a huge variety of materials and resources — all easily accessible with a click of a mouse?
The Library’s physical branches may be closed, but online access to a vast collection of material is still available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And what’s more, our talented library team is available Monday through Friday (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to help you find exactly what you might be looking for, and perhaps share some suggestions on some new distractions.
“We have a marvelous collection of items, ranging from e-books and magazines to music and video downloads, that people can access free of charge,” said Michael Jimenez, Director of the San Bernardino County Library. “While these materials have long been available online, people stuck at home during the pandemic are only now starting to discover just how much we have to enjoy.”
And it’s not just fun and diversions, but there are also serious resources to be tapped. Jimenez noted, for example, that the library’s collection includes a variety of materials to help people search for jobs and otherwise bolster their careers.
“We have job assistance databases, resume assistance and live job coaching,” he said. The library also has a Career Online feature, which enables people to earn a fully accredited high school diploma from the comfort of their own homes.”
Jimenez said that accessing and downloading materials requires residents to first obtain a (free) County library card if they don’t already have one. People can apply for a digital library card by going to http://www.sbclib.org/ and completing an application.
