August 2024

In celebration of its 25th Anniversary, Fort Bend County Libraries’ Sugar Land Branch Library will host an Open House on Saturday, August 31, from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon, in the Meeting Room of the library.

In addition to light refreshments and crafts, the public is invited to participate in a community-art project during the event by painting or coloring individual pieces of a library mural. After the event, the individual pieces will be reassembled to complete a mural, which will be on display in the lobby of the library through the end of the year.

The Sugar Land Branch Library opened in August 1999, the final branch constructed with funds voted upon in the 1989 bond election. The City of Sugar Land donated funds for the permanent history display that would be housed by the library, and many area individuals contributed to the library by purchasing paver bricks engraved with the donor's name or in honor/memory of someone.

Materials and refreshments for the event are made possible by the Friends of the Sugar Land Branch Library.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Sugar Land Branch Library (281-238-2140) or the library system’s Communications Office (281-633-4734).
