Coronavirus Update

Our two libraries here in The Woodlands are now open for lobby service. Library Administration is working with Montgomery County officials on adding services, such as computer access, in compliance with the guidelines and capacity limits required under the Governor's order.  The primary consideration is safety for both patrons and staff, which requires arrangements that allow for adequate social distancing and sanitizing procedures.

We at SMCFOL are planning for our book shops to reopen also. We hope to be able to reopen the shops in the near future, but we know that this will have to wait until it is abundantly clear that it is safe for everyone. And we will need to wait until we have the
approval of Library Administration to open again.

Our shops will be open for only four hours per day at first, and we will take other precautions to insure everyone’s safety. At this time, we are still not accepting donations.  We will take our cue from the library system on this issue.  When it is deemed safe to do so by the library system, we will resume.   We hope that our donors will be willing to hold onto their items and bring them in when we can accept them again. 
 
Thanks for your continued support during these challenging times!

​Welcome to the South Montgomery County Friends of the Library (SMCFOL) website. We are a non-profit organization that supports the South Regional Library and the George and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Library which are branches of the Montgomery County Library System. Our contributions allow our two libraries to offer programs and resources beyond what their county budget covers. 

SMCFOL has subsidized programs such as book clubs for tots, tweens, teens, and seniors, job fairs, family game nights, dancing classes, knitting classes, and Library Lite - a health and wellness program. SMCFOL also contributes money to purchase books and other media, supplies, and equipment not afforded by our libraries' annual budgets. The exceptional library staff conceives programs that make our libraries centers of fun and education for the entire community. SMCFOL helps the libraries to implement those plans.

SMCFOL generates revenue through our annual book sale, the proceeds from the two SMCFOL used book shops located in the two branches, and internet sales. Membership dues and contributions are additional sources of revenue.

Please refer to our current issue of The Bookworm for upcoming events. SMCFOL periodically holds General Meetings which are typically an entertaining and informative program on a variety of subjects. Be sure to stop in and explore the SMCFOL shop next time you're in the library. We offer paperbacks and hardcover books for all ages, recent magazines, DVDs, CDs, and audiobooks. New material arrives daily, so come in often!
