The Archibald Library facility in Rancho Cucamonga stands as a cornerstone of community engagement and an essential resource for passport services, strategically positioned at 7368 Archibald Avenue. This particular branch is a critical component of the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library system, serving a diverse demographic across several distinct neighborhoods. To the immediate east lies the established Goldy-Lewis neighborhood, characterized by mature tree-lined streets and single-family homes, while to the west, the newer Day Creek Square area brings a growing population of young families and professionals. Further north, the Etiwanda community, known for its excellent school district, also heavily relies on Archibald Library for its array of services, including the vital passport acceptance program.
Since its dedication in 1988, Archibald Library has evolved far beyond a traditional book repository. It was originally designed to reflect a modern interpretation of California Mission Revival architecture, a theme subtly integrated throughout the broader civic center complex. The library’s presence at the intersection of Archibald Avenue and Foothill Boulevard places it at a nexus of local commerce and residential zones, making it exceptionally accessible. Just three blocks south, the vibrant Victoria Gardens cultural district offers a host of amenities, but the library itself acts as a daily focal point for practical civic needs, including federal passport applications. The adjacent Grapeland Park, a mere 0.4 miles east, provides green space often frequented by families before or after their library visits.
This facility uniquely caters to a wide spectrum of Rancho Cucamonga residents. For instance, the significant student population from nearby Chaffey College, approximately 2.5 miles south, frequently utilizes the library for study spaces, and increasingly, for convenient passport applications as they plan for study abroad programs or international internships. Young professionals working in the business parks along Haven Avenue, just a few miles west, find the library’s structured appointment system for passport services particularly efficient, allowing them to manage their busy schedules. Additionally, the large number of families within the Etiwanda School District boundaries appreciate the library’s family-friendly environment and the availability of passport photo services, streamlining the application process for minors.
The library’s commitment to community welfare is evident in its multi-faceted offerings. Beyond passport services, it provides extensive literacy programs, digital inclusion initiatives, and a robust collection that supports lifelong learning. The decision to integrate passport acceptance services nearly 15 years ago was a direct response to a community needs assessment, identifying a significant gap in accessible federal services within this rapidly expanding region of the Inland Empire. Prior to its establishment as an acceptance facility, residents faced drives of 40 minutes or more to facilities in San Bernardino or Riverside, underscoring the immediate positive impact Archibald Library’s program brought.
Today, the passport services desk at Archibald Library processes an average of 85 new applications and renewals per week, a testament to its efficiency and the high demand within Rancho Cucamonga. The staff, comprised of specially trained library personnel, are not only experts in the application process but also deeply familiar with local resources, often guiding applicants to nearby notaries or specific print services if additional documentation is required. This localized expertise, combined with the library’s welcoming atmosphere, distinguishes it as a preferred location for passport acquisition in the area. The facility’s integration into the larger civic campus, alongside city administrative offices and community spaces, reinforces its role as a central pillar of public service, extending far beyond the traditional scope of a library to truly serve the comprehensive needs of its growing population.

Located at ARCHIBALD LIBRARY at 7368 ARCHIBALD AVENUE. Easy access from major highways.
Convenient parking options are readily available when visiting Archibald Library for passport services. The primary choice is the expansive, free 75-space surface lot located directly on the west side of the building, accessible via a dedicated entrance from Archibald Avenue. This lot is often bustling, particularly during peak library hours between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, so arriving 15-20 minutes prior to your passport appointment is highly advisable to secure a good spot. For overflow, a secondary free lot with approximately 50 spaces is situated behind the library, accessible from 4th Street. This requires a brief 0.1-mile walk around the building to the main entrance. Additionally, metered street parking can be found along Foothill Boulevard, roughly 0.2 miles north of the library. These spots typically cost $1.50 per hour with a strict 2-hour limit, enforced via digital pay stations. While an option, it’s generally less convenient than the free lots, especially if you anticipate your appointment extending or wish to utilize other library services. Given Rancho Cucamonga’s warm climate, particularly during the summer months when temperatures frequently exceed 95°F, parking in shaded areas of the main lot, often found closer to the building’s south side, is a practical strategy to keep your vehicle cooler. During the cooler winter months, parking considerations shift more towards proximity and accessibility rather than shade.
Accessing Archibald Library via public transit in Rancho Cucamonga is straightforward, primarily through the Omnitrans bus system. Route 85 is the most direct option, with northbound and southbound stops located directly in front of the library on Archibald Avenue, just a few steps from the main entrance. This route provides regular service connecting various points along Archibald, Baseline, and Vineyard Avenues. For those traveling from areas further east or west, Omnitrans Route 66 runs along Foothill Boulevard, approximately 0.2 miles north of the library. Passengers utilizing Route 66 can disembark at the Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue stop, then proceed to walk south on Archibald for two blocks until they reach the library on their left. Omnitrans Route 85 typically operates every 25 to 30 minutes during weekday daytime hours, offering reliable service for scheduled appointments. Weekend service is slightly less frequent, so checking the latest schedule on the Omnitrans website or app is recommended. A single ride costs $1.75, while a day pass, allowing unlimited rides across the entire network, is available for $5.00. For convenience, fares can be paid with exact cash or through the Omnitrans ‘OmniPass’ mobile ticketing app. All Omnitrans buses are fully ADA compliant, equipped with wheelchair ramps and designated priority seating, ensuring accessibility for all passengers traveling to Archibald Library.

Inside Archibald Library, visitors will find a bright, welcoming atmosphere designed for both quiet contemplation and active civic engagement. The architecture blends contemporary design elements with subtle nods to classic California aesthetics, featuring high ceilings and expansive windows that allow natural light to flood the main atrium. Upon entering the facility through the main double doors situated on the north side, directly facing Archibald Avenue, patrons step into a spacious lobby. To the immediate left is the main Information Desk, a prominent feature staffed by helpful library personnel. For passport services, applicants are directed past the general circulation area and up to the second floor, accessible via a wide, carpeted staircase or a centrally located elevator, both clearly marked.
The dedicated passport acceptance area is situated towards the back of the second floor, just beyond the non-fiction collection. Here, a specific counter, often designated as ‘Passport Services Window 3’, is equipped for processing applications. You’ll check in directly at this counter, where a trained passport agent will verify your appointment and begin the intake process. The typical appointment duration for a single applicant is meticulously managed, usually taking between 18 to 22 minutes from check-in to final document review. The layout ensures a degree of privacy for each applicant while maintaining an open, accessible environment.
