SUPPORT THE DREAM

The City of Fontana is constructing a new library in the downtown Civic Center.  Library State Bonds are assisting.  Our Dream is to raise $500,000 for the Dr. Martin Luther King Children’s section of the Library.  We are not a wealthy community capable of funding this construction on our own – we need your help!

Fontana is the 5th fastest growing city in the state and the 8th fastest growing city in the nation – population 170,000 and growing.  Our community is currently being served out of a 1960 library facility that served Fontana when our size was 1/8th our current size! Fontana is also a melting pot with 12% Black, 60% Hispanic, 25% White and a wide variety of cultures and languages.  Roughly 41% of our 42,000 school-age children in the classrooms are designated English Language Learners.  That’s 17,176 kids who need your help.

We need partners in our efforts!  On behalf of the children of our community and our region, help us in eliminating this quote from our County Librarian, Dr. Ed Kieczykowski, “Fontana is the most underserved community of its size in the State of California when it comes to available library resources.”

Please participate in the tournament or sponsor this event.
