South Branch Library opened in a temporary space of 10,000 sq. ft. in a former grocery store in Grogan’s Mill Shopping Center in The Woodlands, primarily with thousands of donated books.
Ground breaking for the new facility in Magnolia.
A Planning Task Force was convened to examine the current and future needs of the MCMLS and to recommend a master plan for the library system.
The Library began as a collection of 1200 volumes housed in a Conroe School Recreation Center and operated by a women's group known as the HUB Club.
The group appealed to the County to make the library a tax-supported function of County government.
In 1948 the Library was taken over by the County and a budget of $25,000 provided. Katherine Ard was hired as its first librarian and a bookmobile was put into operation to serve outlying areas of the county
In 1950 the Library was moved to a vacant automobile showroom on North Frazier.
A bond election was held for a new Library facility. $300,000 was approved.
The new Library, located at 400 N. San Jacinto, was completed. It was 10,000 square feet.
A second bookmobile was added.
