Lone Star College-CyFair Library

The partnership between Harris County Public Library (HCPL) and CyFair College (CFC) offers the CyFair community a unique blending of services to enhance their learning opportunities. In its original design, CFC had merged the college library and its learning support services in an effort to more effectively serve the needs of the students. Entering into an agreement with HCPL presented both institutions the opportunity to take this original design to another level. HCPL and CFC staffs worked closely together to maintain the integrity of the blended services from the original design while merging the full services of the county public library.

The goal of the teams was to have both a service model and physical design model that offered the highest level of services to the general public and the students. It is important that when customers and students use the facility the services they receive meet all of their learning or information needs. The work of the design and operations planning teams has resulted in meeting this goal. Both students and customers will be served by a well-trained and integrated staff that will provide quality service to meet the diverse needs of our community.
