Submitted by Deborah Sica on Sat, 06/30/2012 - 3:56pm

Matzke Sign Mondays are Matzke Nights here at Northwest Library! Several of the dedicated teachers have gladly taken up residence here over the summer! These upstanding professionals meet with their students every Monday in the library's Children's Area from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm. They will be here all summer long. Several families have gotten library cards and learned all about our programming while meeting up with their favorite teachers. We are proud to partner with CyFair on this new endeavor!
