圣贝纳迪诺县里亚托分馆翻新后重新开放：沉浸式太空故事空间与创客工坊启用，逾200名居民到场庆祝
位于加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪诺县里亚托市的圣贝纳迪诺县图书馆里亚托分馆完成翻新后重新开放。10月19日，200多名社区居民参加了重开庆祝活动，县学前服务部的40名学童成为首批走进新空间的小读者。
翻新后的分馆设有一间沉浸式儿童故事空间，孩子们走进的是一个互动太空站场景，以营造探索与发现的氛围；另设 Animaker 创客空间，由 Garner Holt「寓教于想象」项目合作打造，配备3D打印机、乙烯基打印机、激光切割机、数控铣床、真空成型机、刺绣与缝纫设备，以及专业演出灯光系统与一台名为 Radian 的电子动画装置，让孩子动手把想象做成实物。
县监事会副主席、第五区监事小乔·巴卡（Joe Baca, Jr.）说：「我从小就去里亚托分馆看书，看到它不断成长、为社区创造新机会，格外有意义。这些新空间不只是对图书馆的投资，更是对孩子未来的投资。」里亚托市长乔·巴卡（Joe Baca)、市议员小爱德华·蒙托亚（Edward Montoya Jr.）与前 NASA 宇航员何塞·埃尔南德斯（José Hernández）等出席了剪彩活动。
县图书馆馆长 Melanie Orosco 表示，这次翻新正是县图书馆希望成为的样子：让孩子与家庭愿意走进门来，发现此前没有体验过的事物。里亚托分馆的服务信息可查阅 library.sbcounty.gov 或致电 909-387-2220。
San Bernardino County, California: Rialto Branch Library Reopens With an Immersive Space Storytime Room and an Animaker Makerspace
The San Bernardino County Library's Rialto Branch, in the City of Rialto, San Bernardino County, California, has reopened after a renovation. More than 200 community members gathered on October 19 to celebrate the reopening, and 40 students from the County Preschool Services Department were among the first to explore the new spaces.
The renovated branch features a reimagined children's storytime space built as an interactive space station experience, designed to build anticipation and a sense of discovery. A new Animaker Space, developed with Garner Holt Education Through Imagination, gives children 3D printers, a vinyl printer, a laser cutter, a CNC milling machine, a vacuum former, embroidery and sewing equipment, a professional show lighting and truss system, and an animatronic figure named Radian — tools used across the design, fabrication and entertainment industries.
"As someone who grew up visiting the Rialto Branch Library, it is especially meaningful to see it continue to grow and create new opportunities for our community," said Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. "These new spaces are more than an investment in our library. They are an investment in our children's futures." Rialto Mayor Joe Baca, Council Member Edward Montoya Jr. and former NASA astronaut Dr. José Hernández joined the ribbon cutting.
County Librarian Melanie Orosco said the renovation represents what the county wants its libraries to be — places where children and families are excited to walk through the doors and discover something new. Branch information is available at library.sbcounty.gov or by calling 909-387-2220.
