Step inside and you are greeted by an entrance hall, the Paul A. Biane Great Hall. Named for the San Bernardino County 1st District Supervisor and current chair of the Board of Supervisors, it runs the length of the building and soars 30 feet high with clerestory windows to let in the abundant Southern California light. Biane was instrumental in securing the county portion of funds that are used to stock the library's collection and staff it with 63 people who do the day-in, day-out work of keeping everything humming along.

Light and airy is an apt description for this patron-friendly library with computerized self-checkout, RFID tagged books and other materials, and more than 200 public-access computers that provide online access to a collection of more than 2-1/2 million volumes. San Bernardino and Riverside counties, along with municipal public libraries in Moreno Valley, Murietta and Victorville and the College of the Desert, provide mutually shared access to their collections.
The new Fontana branch library also now houses the headquarters for the county library's literacy program, with a special-purpose literacy study room and computer lab. The Verizon Foundation provided funds for eight specialized literacy computer stations. READ MORE
