The Woman’s Club of Cypress (WCC) was honored by the Cypress Library for their generous support of library programs and activities during the club’s November 5 meeting. Library representatives Stephanie Anson and Cathy Hickle also presented members and guests with an overview of the many events offered by the library throughout the year.
“Due to the generosity of the WCC, the library’s summer reading program was a great success and test scores for children participating in the program were higher than those who did not participate,” said library representative Cathy Hickle adding, “These higher scores were the best statistics the library has had in five years.”
WCC’s “Friends of the Cypress Library” volunteer group holds an ongoing book sale in the lobby of the library; however, their annual week long book sale the week of October 11 was their big success. Funds from the sale will help supplement the library’s budget throughout 2015 to purchase bestselling books, magazine subscriptions, CDs, DVDs and host children’s programs. According to WCC Library Liaison Maria Sterk, “The annual book sale is an outstanding way for Cypress residents to support community activities and receive something for their effort.”
During the past year, WCC has donated over $10,000 to the Cypress Library, which supports both children and adult literacy programs. In addition, the book nook at the library allows WCC volunteers to deliver books to homebound Cypress residents.
Following the library presentation, Anson and Hickle presented WCC President Joyce Grohmann with a green table cover featuring the Women’s Club gold insignia of Unity in Diversity. “The Woman’s Club of Cypress was surprised and excited to have received this gift,” said Grohmann. “It will be used with pride at special events.”
