Press Release: June 28, 2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FONTANA, CALIF. – The Mayor and City Council are pleased to announce another way to donate money to the Lewis Library and Technology Center – one that doesn’t cost you a dime. By enrolling in Wells Fargo’s “Sharing Advantage Program” and either closing a purchase or refinancing a loan, you will have the opportunity to contribute $300 to Fontana's new library. Wells Fargo will donate the money, just for using the program. “Open your heart, as you close your loan,” suggests Wells Fargo.

Set to open in the spring of 2008, the new, 93,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art Lewis Library and Technology Center is currently under construction, and will be a place where people can meet, study, read, attend programs, and engage in a variety of other lifelong learning opportunities. The Lewis Library and Technology Center will feature a children’s storytelling center, homework center, literacy center, career center, 330-seat auditorium, clock tower, young adult cyber cafe, coffee bar, and a local history and genealogy room.

For a free consultation at Wells Fargo, please contact Fontana branch manager, Robert Alvarez at 16981 Foothill Blvd., Suite A, Fontana, 92335, or by phone at (909) 429-0537.
