Aldine Library Sidewalk Project

Submitted by Mark H. on Thu, 04/25/2013 - 12:35pm

The City of Houston has begun their project to widen the sidewalk in front of the Aldine Library. Today, an excavator dug up the asphalt that comprised the STAFF parking lot driveway. However, the PUBLIC parking lot driveway is still intact.

We'll keep you posted on any updates or developments regarding this project!

Sidewalk Project

Submitted by Mark H. on Fri, 04/05/2013 - 11:43am

As you may have noticed, The City of Houston is replacing the sidewalks along Airline Drive and Dyna Drive. Today, the City began to work on the sidewalk along the entrance to the Aldine Library. A hydraulic crusher broke the concrete at the library's driveway this morning in the first phase of the project. Your vehicle can still enter and exit the parking lot at this point. Later, perhaps next week, another City of Houston contractor will tear up the concrete and replace it. We'll keep you updated as the project continues.

Submitted by Mark H. on Tue, 03/19/2013 - 3:12pm

Estimados clientes de la biblioteca de Aldine,

El estacionamiento de la biblioteca de Aldine está consiguiendo una restauración muy necesario. Entonces el aparcamiento no estará disponible jueves 28 de marzo, el sábado, 30 de marzo y lunes 1 de abril. El proyecto debe estar terminado, esperamos, por la mañana del martes 2 de abril. Sin embargo, el tiempo es un factor de lo que puede tardar más o menos tiempo para completarlo.

La biblioteca de Aldine deja a nuestros clientes a encontrar aparcamiento adecuado en la zona. En todo momento, los trabajadores proporcionará una ruta para caminantes, jinetes de autobús, y sillas de ruedas para entrar en el edificio.

Parking Lot Resurfacing @ Aldine

Submitted by Mark H. on Tue, 03/19/2013 - 2:52pm

Dear Aldine Patrons,

The Aldine library parking lot is getting a badly needed resurfacing / refinishing. The resurfacing project will begin on Thursday, March 28th. The project should be finished, we hope, by the morning of Tuesday, April 2nd. However, weather is a factor so it may take more or less time to complete it.

The library parking lot will be unavailable on Thursday, March 28th, Saturday, March 30th and Monday April 1st. The Aldine Library leaves it to our patrons to find suitable parking in the area. At all times, the resurfacing crew will provide a route for walkers, bus riders, and wheelchairs to get into the building.

Thank you for your patience during this time.

TOM Black History Month from Kathy Jones-Green

Lone Star College-Tomball Community Library decided to do a slight twist on our Black History Month display. Laura Matson, Circulation Assistant, and Kathy Green, Circulation Supervisor, wanted to focus on some lesser known inventors in Black History. What would we do without the pencil sharpener or laser eye surgery for cataracts?

Self Checkout

Submitted by Mark H. on Fri, 01/18/2013 - 5:11pm

You may notice something different when you come inside the Aldine Library. Our self checkout machines are now lined up in a row! These machines are easy to use and quite helpful during our busier times when lines are long. If you want to be shown how to use them just let any member of our staff know. We would be glad to help.
