Fowler's New and Improved Library
The Fowler Library was a home-grown community project funded in part by Fowler residents past and present, who understood that Fowler deserved a library to serve its growing and unique community. Prior to its opening in 2008, the Fowler library had operated out of the same tiny storefront since 1914 when only 700 people lived in Fowler! Now residents enjoy a 21st century building with more than six times the space featuring a computer room, children's area, quiet reading and local history room, and numerous programs and classes.
From the
Fresno County Library's Web page on Fowler library project: "The long awaited project was made possible through the efforts of a community task force that raised more than $1-million in donations from individuals, businesses, and civic groups, including an initial gift from students at Sutter Middle School. Additional funding is provided by Measure B, the Leon S. Peters and Pete P. Peters Foundations, and an in-kind donation from the City of Fowler."
