HAPPENINGS
JUNE 1989
A MONTHLY STAFF NEWSLETTER OF HARRIS COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
IN MEMORY OF
EVELYN MEADOR
Evelyn Meador, for
whom our newest branch
library was named, passed
away Monday, May 29,
1989. She was 80 years
old. She is survived by her
husband Rex, their
daughter Lynn, and her
son Mark. Rex and Evelyn
Meador lived in Seabrook
since 1961 and were
instrumental in the
development of plans to
build a county library in
their community.
The Meador’s donated
six acres of land to the City
of Seabrook who in turn
donated it to Harris
County with plans of
building a library on the
land. They were also
founding members of the
Friends of the Library
organization which was
created in 1985. The
Friends of the Seabrook
Library recommended that
the branch library be
named in honor of Evelyn
Meador and, with County
approval, the Friends
surprised Evelyn Meador
with the announcement at
their annual meeting in
1985.
The Evelyn Meador
Branch Library opened to
the public on June 27,
1988 - approximately one
year ago. The library
opened with a collection of
over 26,000 books and
multi-media materials.
Today, the library boasts
almost 32,000 items in its
collection - an increase of
23 percent. It is truly an
honor on the part of
Harris County to have a
library named after Evelyn
Meador and although we
will sorely miss Evelyn we
can honor her memory as
the Evelyn Meador Branch
Library continues to grow
and serve the community.
