Magic at the West U Library

Submitted by Libby N on Wed, 06/08/2011 - 10:42am

Our summer programs started off with an exciting magic show featuring local magician, Steve Burton.  The audience was amazed by the fabulous "How'd he do that?"  tricks. We were fortunate to have the program at the newly renovated senior center next door to the Library.  Their auditorium accomodates large crowds.

All Library  programs are free and are listed on the West U Library website.  Calendars are also available at the Library.

Visit the Library website at www.hcpl.net to sign up for the summer reading program.  Children who read [or have read to them] 10 picture books - or read on their own for 5 hours or 500 minutes - will receive a free paperback book, a certificate and a food coupon from a local restaurant.

Volunteers needed to help shelve children's materials

Submitted by Libby N on Wed, 03/09/2011 - 6:32pm

If you have a couple of hours once a week to spare and like to be in a cheerful, colorful atmosphere, the Library needs help shelving children's materials upstairs. The primary areas of shelving are picture books, juvenile fiction and non fiction.  The librarians will help you start with a complete orientation about the children's collection, where and how to shelve the items.  If you are interested in volunteering, call the Library at 713 668-8273 or stop by and introduce yourself to Libby or Margaret.
