Renovations to Regional Library in The Woodlands

Renovations at the South Regional Library in The Woodlands, Tx is scheduled to help open up space and improve the traffic flow of the busiest library branch in Montgomery County.

An estimated $63,000 is being used from the South Montgomery County Friends of the Library funds to enlarge the SMCFOL gift shop, rearrange the counter where patrons check out their books and the circulation work area for librarians to have additional space, according to SMCFOL President Gail Magill.

Sarah Booth, assistant director for the county’s library system, stated “The south regional library has been the busiest branch in the system and we definitely need more room. This will allow us to maximize the space we have."

The library posted over 24,000 transactions for full-time staff member in the 2009-2010 fiscal year compared to 23,000 for the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Library, about 17,000 in Magnolia and 15,000 in Conroe, Tx.

With allocated funding for new material as low as it was 14 years due to budget cuts, Booth stated that the library system is becoming more reliant on groups like SMCFOL.

Booth added, “There are no words to describe how valuable they are. The Friends of the Library groups are so supportive … We would not be able to do these renovations without their foresight and dedication.”

Booth stated that the libraries “don’t work around it, we work with it,” by providing Overdrive, an online program which allows users to download free library and audio books to their electronic readers.
