Summer Reading Program Kick Off Party

Our 1st SRP Kick Off Party was a success!

Children and parents enjoyed 3 "Make & Take" stations themed towards Camp STREAM - Edible DNA, Lego's, and a custom drum.  The teens played video games while the toddlers entertained themselves with toys. There were prize drawings for each age group from toddlers to adults and a giveaway.

Take a look for yourself....

FW: Renovating for Play, Texas Society of Architects/AIA


EMAILED BY DR. LAWSON ON 5/30/14:
 
Nice way to end a Friday
Sharing good news about HPL...  Collier Renovation Published!

 

Please join me in congratulating the HPL Facilities Team - especially Stephen Chamberlain who led this effort, and the Neighborhood Libraries Team

 


 

As John Middleton says, “Nice to see another HPL library and PFD project published again. Even though there are a couple of inaccuracies, starting with the date the library reopened, it is still great to see HPL presented positively in design media.”

 

Kudos once again to the PFD team and Neighborhood Libraries, and especially to Stephen Chamberlain for a job well done.

Cinco de Mayo Celebration

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo during our most recent Family Time! The children enjoyed making their own sombreros and listening to a tale about "Cinco de Mouse-O". At the very end, they were all in for a great surprise! PINATA!
