NORTH SUBURBIA - April 14, 1976 Wednesday, April 28, 1976 — The NEWS Library Hours Trimmed The hours during which northwest area county branch libraries are open will be trimmed at least 14 per cent on June 1. The open time of the Tomball library will be reduced from 54 hours a week to 46 hours while the hours of the Cypress Creek, Fairbanks, and Spring Branch libraries will be cut from 54 to 44 hours. The changes were recommended by County Librarian Katherine Skinner Brown as “necessary to allow adequate staff coverage during peak hours of use.” She supplied the Com¬ missioners with circulation statistics “to justify the changes.” The Court approved the changes. Effective June 1, the hours for the Tomball Library will be 10 am to 9 pm on Mondays, 10 to 6 on Tuesdays and Fridays, noon to 6 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and 10 to 5 on Saturdays. At Cypress Creek, Fairbanks and Spring Branch, the hours will be 1 to 9 pm on Mondays, 10 to 6 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays; 1 to 6 on Fridays, and 10 to 5 on Saturdays. Garden Club Gives To Library The new Cypress Creek Library will receive over $300 from the Ponderosa Flora Doras Garden Club. The group raised the money from their annual luncheon and card party benefit held in March. This amount will provide more than 32 books on gardening, horticulture and flowers for this area. The Flora Doras April meeting was a workshop on making hanging baskets. The next meeting will be held on May 1 1 and will be a luncheon and installation of officers for the new garden club year. New officers will be: Sandra Champion, presi¬ dent; Helen Swanson, 1st vice president; Martha Bas- kerville, 2nd vice president; Evelyn Graham, secretary; and Del Rutledge, treasurer. NORTH SUBURBIA May 12, 1976 Firm Wants Library Extension A request by the con¬ struction firm building the Cypress Creek Branch Library for 110 days ex¬ tension of time in com¬ pleting his contract caused a mild flurry at the County Commissioners Court this week. , County Engineer Dick Doss said the additional time would not have any effect on the $344,000 con¬ tract of Superior Con¬ structors, Inc. When Commissioner Bob Eckels inquired about the exact problems that would require such a delay, Doss said the request came through the architect and that he did not have all the details. At the suggestion of Eckels, the Court held up action on the request until the County Engineer could supply more information.
