One suit can provide a world of opportunities. Join Lone Star College-CyFair's campus and community-wide professional attire suit drive March 5 through March 9, benefiting Dress For Success® Houston (DFSH.).

This year’s campaign, S.O.S. (Send One Suit) Week, coordinated by the Counseling, Career and Disability Services Department, helps provide interview-appropriate suits and career development to aid low-income women entering the workforce.

Let's face it, guys just don't get the same resources for finding great clothes at affordable prices.  So, LSC-CyFair Branch Library and the LSC-CyFair Counseling, Career and Disability Services are taking matters into their own hands with a new program designed to supply both prom and job interview-appropriate shirts and ties for young men in high school.  In addition, the program will supply job interview-appropriate shirts and ties for male college students and community members who use the college’s career services.

Dr. Audre Levy, LSC-CyFair President, is launching a year-round program to assist families in the Cy-Fair community that cannot afford the basic essentials that many people take for granted, such as soap, toothpaste, and other necessities that cannot be purchased with public assistance funds (Lone Star Card).  This new campus initiative will begin in February when brightly colored bins will be placed in the Student Commons near each entrance to collect shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, and other personal grooming items.

Have you ever wondered why those books are in the front hallway of the library?  Kind, generous people have donated them to the Friends of the Fairbanks Library.  They are the main source of income for the Friends of the Library.  So, please, stop and browse the shelves.  There is a great selection.  If you find books, magazines, or videos that you want, donate some money (in the box attached to the top of one of the shelves) and take them home with you.  Your donations pay for library programs and materials.  Also, please keep the Friends in mind when you're cleaning off your shelves at home.  They are always looking for books, CDs, DVDs, etc., that are in good condition so that they can raise money for more library programs and materials.
