Rialto Branch Library Reopens With Immersive Space Station Storytime Space and Animaker Lab
The Rialto Branch Library, in the city of Rialto, San Bernardino County, California, reopened to the public on Monday, October 19 after a reimagining of its spaces. The county said more than 200 community members attended the reopening, including 40 students from County Preschool Services.
Speakers at the ceremony included Supervisor Joe Baca Jr., Rialto Mayor Joe Baca, former NASA astronaut Dr. José Hernández and Garner Holt. The library's two signature additions are an immersive space-station-themed storytime space for children and an Animaker Space equipped with 3D printers, a vinyl printer, a laser cutter, a CNC mill, a vacuum former, embroidery and sewing equipment, an airbrush hood, show lighting and an animatronic figure named Radian.
County Librarian Melanie Orosco said the reimagined branch combines reading, technology and hands-on creation for residents of all ages.
The Rialto Branch is part of the San Bernardino County Library system; hours and program schedules are posted on the county library website.
