Fort Bend County Libraries has announced the launch of a new, state-of-the-art online network, catalog, and computer/Internet access for library users starting September 2.

Library users will once again have access to computers, Internet, and printing, as well as digital collections and traditional services and materials they have come to enjoy over the years – and much more.

Special activities and giveaways celebrating the re-launch of the new network were held at the branch libraries throughout the week, starting on September 3, culminating with a big Re-Launch Party on Saturday, September 6 at George Memorial Library at1001 Golfview, Richmond.

Library visitors may also choose to get a limited-edition library card, recently designed by winners of the Library-Card Design Contest for Library Card Sign-Up Month.

“We thank you for your patience and appreciate your continued support,” said Library Director Roosevelt Weeks. “We look forward to introducing everyone to our new, enhanced system.” For more information, see the Fort Bend County Libraries website (www.fortbendlibraries.gov) or call the library system’s Communications Office (281-633-4734).
