Fall is underway and Lone Star College-CyFair’s librarians are focused on keeping the momentum of summer’s fun activities going throughout the year with new virtual and holiday-themed programming.
“Our library staff has stepped up with innovative and creative ways to keep our families engaged to view story times, do student service-learning projects and participate in book clubs,” said Assistant Library Director of Children’s Services Paula Gonzales. “The dedication and commitment from all our librarians and staff are a reflection on our success to foster the love of reading.”
In collaboration with LSC-CyFair pre-service teachers, there are a variety of STEM videos available for all ages, including Online Escape Rooms and activities on topics such as the human body, recycling, healthy eating, gardens, science in motion, weather and more.
Among the programs for teens are a book blog and a monthly virtual book club with the next “Spine Chilling” meeting set Oct. 20. And tweens can also enjoy a monthly book club or choose among a variety of crafts and STEAM activities.
The children’s library programs also include weekly story times for ages 0-6 with Baby Boogie, Toddler and Preschool options as well as the Hora de Cuentos en Español (años 2-6) and twice-monthly Book Chats for ages 6-9.
All ages are welcome for Family Art and Activities (formerly Family Fun Night) for singing, sketching, crafting, coloring, candy-making and more.
LSC-CyFair’s branch collection features children’s books, eBooks, eAudio books and movies available in DVD, Blu-ray and streaming formats. In addition, supplemental reading resources for Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District students are available.
While curbside holds pickup is still available with an appointment, the library is open with limited capacity and services.
In addition, outreach programs such as library catalog demonstrations, library card sign up sessions, as well as special story time and/or tours for schools, daycares, community centers and other groups are available upon email request to Paula.M.Gonzales@LoneStar.edu.
