The 3.2 million dollar project, built with City of Houston general funds, broke ground on February 11, 1998. This is the first new library to be built in nine years, the last new library being the Robinson-Westchase Branch. The new library, with a charming brick exterior and a stunning blue metal hip roof, will provide educational, cultural and recreational services for both adults, young adults and children, including circulating and reference materials, meeting spaces, and free public access to online resources such as specialized databases and the Internet. A curved driveway off West Fuqua Drive leads customers to the library entrance and the parking lot located at the rear of the building. A concrete paved plaza off the rear entrance provides space for outdoor activities.
Customers enter through foyer with display areas and restroom facilities.
A 1,000 square foot meeting room accommodates 58 people, complete with rear projection screen and audio-visual equipment. A central circulation area with stacks and the main reading rooms comprise the remaining space. Anne Quackenbush Ammons Sr. Blanca Quezada Sr.
