To help meet the demand, we have established a wish list on Amazon.com. Kindhearted library lovers can hop online to buy us a book, DVD or CD and have it shipped directly to us. You also can also use the gift option for a bookplate dedication or even first dibs. Please click on the PDF link for more detailed instructions.

Thanks to a generous Early Childhood Reading Grant from Target, we are able to continue our Families For Literacy (FFL) outreach program this year to Upland HeadStart, Tiny Tots, and Pacific Lifeline Shelter. The purpose of FFL outreach is to break the illiteracy cycle by reading books to children who may not have ready access to books at home or to the Library.

Now you can rave about or pan the digital books in the Southern California Digital Library with a star rating. You can also opt for a shorter, 7-day loan period, either as your default or at checkout. And in case you haven't noticed, we've also added titles that are iPod-compatible, too. 

With special funds from the County of San Bernardino, the Library now has its first “Kidsmobile!”  We will be using this customized vehicle to bring the Library to children to the City-sponsored homework centers and day camps! Follow along with us...
