Polishing our GEM! We did it! Together with the community's help we raised $65,000 to update our GEM, the Barbara Bush Library at Cypress Creek. There are many areas of the library that need updating. Together with the staff, we compiled a list of needs. This is what we have worked on so far. . . We have decorated the Earl Elliott Room (large meeting room) with posters and canvas art work. Also added some greenery. We purchased an electronic sign that was put in the entrance area. When the library is closed it is positioned facing out so our customers can view it even when the library is closed. We bought new seating for the first floor reading area. We will soon paint the area some delightful colors. Planning has started for the Tween area and we hope to start on that project in the fall. We have other projects that will be working on in the coming year. They include but are not limited to: Establish a historical corner highlighting the history of the library and the Friends Group. Includes glass display cases and an interactive computer monitor and also refurbish the seating area in the Lobby. In the Adult and Young Adult Area the seating areas will be refurbished and the Conference Room with get new chairs. The Friends bookstore will get updated too include shelving, office furniture, signage, etc. As you know sometimes costs go over so donations are still needed. Donations can be made here: https://www.nfggive.com/home (we are listed as Cypress Creek Friends of the Library DBA Barbara Bush Library Friends) or by mailing a check made out to Barbara Bush Library Friends to the Library at 6817 Cypresswood Drive Spring TX 77379. Please put the word GEM in the designation box. Thank you. We appreciate your support. The more funds we raise, the more projects we can complete and MAKE OUR GEM SHINE! Did you know?
