seating and shelf space possible, says
Park.
“As county librarian, I was assigned
the task of describing each library
function and how they relate to one
another, says Parks, giving as an
example, the location of the juvenile
story-telling area and its separation
from the adult reading and meeting
areas.
Parks said no specific name had
been given the proposed Kingwood
library at ths time other than
Kingwood annex. "Commissioner
Lyons hasn’t mentioned anything.”
The library is being financed
through a bond issue passed in 1979
that allots S3 million for the Kingwood
project. At least $750,000 of that has
been set aside for construction and
furnishings alone, says Park.
Friendswood Development donated
the land and 43 parking spaces for the
planned library project at 4102 Hustic
Woods Drive across from Kingwood’s
Park and Ride on Lake Houston
volumes will be on the shelves when
the library opens its doors FOLK vice
president Nancy Martone says the
funds her group raises will go toward
an easy reader program, business
publications, a best seller service and
more.
FOLK currently offers a variety of
memberships from students ($2) to
fapiily ($10). Contact Martone at
35B-5168 for membership information
or write FOLK. P.O. Box 5353,
Kingwood. Proceeds from the local I
AAUW book sale set for April 24 are |
also earmarked for the libarary
project.
Parks says the library project is
nearing the bid stage and hopes
construction will begin by June. She
projects the library’s doors will open a
year from construction start,
"hopefully before summer, our busiest
season."
