Hello ginevra,
The only difference is that 'fibre' is the British English spelling, and 'fiber' is the American English spelling. No difference in meaning. _________________ Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

Hi Look,
No, there is no difference in meaning between both words, the first is American and the second British spelling. Here in Germany, many shopping malls, service centers, retail outlets and offices use the word "center" and it's almost always American spelling. For more example, please read British vs. American English and scroll down to "Spelling".
Let me know what you think. Many thanks, Torsten
