We receive many recommendations and requests for new titles, but our budget only allows for a certain number to be added to our collection. 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.

As of April 5th, the Homework Center will be closed until further notice. We regret the inconvenience this may cause you.

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...

Please check the inbox and junkmail/spam folders of your email account for messages from uplandplnotices @ ci.upland.ca.us (this email address does not accept mail). The City's IT Services has resolved the email delivery problem, so the Library's email notification service has resumed. If you have signed up for email notification but you are still not receiving messages, please let us know and call (909) 931-4200.

Regardless of whether email notification works, you can always check due dates and availability of "hold" requests via MyCitrus inside or outside the Library. You can also call (909) 931-4210 to review or renew items.

Another way to track library materials is via LibraryElf.com, an independently run service, not affiliated or associated with the City of Upland or the Upland Public Library. LibraryElf is a web-based email tool for library users to keep track of their library checkouts for one or more library accounts.
