Houston Press named us the Best Library in Houston in their Best Of issue! Check it out online here: http://www.houstonpress.com/bestof/2012/award/best-library-3097393/
If you don't want to go to the link, here's what it says:
"The Heights Neighborhood Library takes the nod for Best Library on two
counts: first as an architectural gem, and second as a center of culture
and entertainment as well as education for the area. The original
structure was built in 1925 by J. M. Glover. It has impressive Italian
Renaissance details executed in cast stone and a tile roof. In 1979, Ray
Bailey Architects rehabilitated the then 59-year-old building and added
a large, modern extension that perfectly complemented the original
structure. The library is a busy, bustling place with programming
including book clubs, play dates for toddlers, crafts, film screenings,
and talks by local groups such as the Houston Ballet and the Audubon
Society. There are also job-skills clinics, computer classes and, of
course, shelves and shelves of books and multimedia resources."
Yay Heights!
