About Crosby Edith Fae Cook Cole Branch Library
Hello, I’m Laura Hancock. I started my career with HCPL at the La Porte Branch Library, where I worked in Youth Services for six years. After a short break, I returned to HCPL as Crosby- Edith Fae Cook Cole’s Branch Manager in 2024. I love helping people get access to the information they need and strive to provide a welcoming space for everyone.
My favorite genres to read and recommend are horror and classic Gothic literature, with Shirley Jackson being an easy pick for my number one author. When I’m not at work, I can be found watching baseball, building Legos, or watching movies.
We love our growing community at Crosby, and we hope to see you soon! If you have a question or comment please feel free to email or call (832) 927-7790.
