Lone Star College-CyFair Library

The partnership between Harris County Public Library and Lone Star College-CyFair offers a unique blend of services. It enhances the community's learning opportunities by offering access to academic resources while providing the college's students, faculty and staff with popular materials not normally found in academic libraries.

History

The Lone Star College-CyFair Branch opened along with the Lone Star College-CyFair campus in August 2003. CyFair was the fifth campus of the then North Harris Montgomery Community College District. The joint library was the brainchild of college president Dr. Diana Troyer and Harris County Commissioner Steve Radack.
