Northwest Branch Library

The Northwest Branch Library was built in 1983 and dedicated in May 1984. The branch has proudly been serving the Cypress community ever since. Through the determination of Marsha Carlevaro, the philanthropy of Rosa Chang and many other private individuals and companies, along with the fundraising efforts of hundreds of Cypress residents, this library was established. The Friends of the Northwest Library began in 1982 and at one point had 750 members. It was established in order to raise funds for materials for the new library. The Friends continue to hold tri-annual book sales, support library programming, and perform volunteer work at the library. They are always looking for new members and invite all those that value their community library to join up. And of course, there are always plenty of volunteer opportunities.

Today the Northwest Library is thriving. The library contains numerous public computers and has several laptops and iPads available for checkout. The Community Room can hold up to 80 people and is available for public use. This room is also used for our multiple children’s storytimes, book clubs, arts and crafts activities and movie nights. The library provides weekly stress-free beginning computer classes and Sit & Stitch sessions. We host state and national elections as well as volunteers offering tax filing assistance to all on a first come, first serve during February, March and April. Additional annual programs include Spring Break fun, Summer Reading activities, a Halloween concert and party and Gingerbread House Decorating Day. Northwest Library is a community hot spot centered on the needs of the neighborhood and focused on the wishes of the community. It’s your library, so stop by today and see what’s going on!
