LIBRARIES ARE
CENTERS FOR
COMMUNITIES
] Branches of County Institu¬
tion Serve as Meeting
Places For Religious, Pol¬
itical and Social Groups.
Branch libraries of the Harris
County Public Library are active
community centers. Aside from the
hundreds of book? that are cir¬
culated from each monthly, the
buildings or rooms are used for
meetings, religious, social and po¬
litical.
The libraries at La Porte and
Pelly are busy centers during the
week in their natural roles as libra¬
ries. On Sunday each is used as a
Sunday school classroom. And it
is not only on Sunday that the
Pelly library serves a dual role. The
large, airy library room in the city
hall often becomes the council
chamber for the city council or the
Harhitratlon room for the "meat
choppers" and other business men
wlio meet to fix prices.
The Humble branch library re¬
sides in an unpretentious room in
the Humble court house between
the jail and the court room. If
there is no court, doors are thrown
■ open, a rolling bookshelf and the
librarian's desk are moved into the
icourt room and books replace the
Sboom of the court.
о о о
Court-Library.
This Is believed to be the only
combination of court and public li¬
brary in the country. The library
becomes the official ballot room on
election day and is a center of ac¬
tivity.
The library station at Garden
Villas was once a real estate office.
A library sign replaced the real
estate one; the Interior was trans¬
formed with book shelves and cab¬
inets, tables and chairs. Then
books lined the walls and the build¬
ing became a library and com¬
munity meeting place. Each Tues¬
day evening the library is alive
. with boys and girls to get books
and to read and also to see and
И
meet everyone else. The library is
К
the only community center in the
' addition.
The Fairbanks library is truly a
Community center. The small white
frame building which houses the
library waa built and painted by
the citizens of Fairbanks. Clean¬
up days are community affairs. A
sturdy man. several busy mothers
and numerous children, plus a li¬
brarian or two from the central of¬
fice. rake and cut the grass, trim
fyok Review Club
Robert Nathan’s “Roaa of Ages”,
tlescribed as “a realistic fantasty
described as “a realistic fantasy
to the Gobi Desert”, was reviewed
by Mrs. Brad Armendt at a meet¬
ing of Book Review club held Tues- ..
day in the clubroom at the library.
Members present were Mrs.

Community Meetings.
Clubs of the community use the
library regularly for their meet- j
у
lngs. and when funds are needed;
for the library building, "every¬
one'1 cornea to the library for a
silver tea and lawn party.
The Crosby branch of the Harris
County Public Library attained its
first building through community
„
co-operation. A deserted filling '
station was donated, as well as '
funds for paint, lumber and win- j*
dow panes. The ginner allowed
the building to be moved on tue ^
corner of his lot. and the work of
rejuvenation began on the build- ".
ing. An interested, civic-minded
man gave his services to build,
paint and repair according to ihe
librarian's plans. The "smallest
library in the world" came into
being and today it is the pride of
that community, and is a busy snot '
every day that it Is open for read¬
ing.
о о о
Largent Branch.
The largest of the branch libra- -
ries is at Goose Creek, and it is
always a center of community ac- i
tlvlty. Little theatre groups meet
for casting and clubs meet to plan
programs. The annual tree of light
on the library lawn brings people
from all the adjacent towns, and
Is one of the big community events
of the season.
The 63 branches and stations of
the Harris County Public Library
are vital forces In the small towns
and rural sections of Harris Coun¬
ty. Miss Elnora Edgar is county -
librarian.
