Gibson Library 2.0: drive-through

a little background..

The James I. Gibson Library has been located at the corner of Water Street and Basic Road in downtown Henderson since 1989. With a humble beginning in a small building nearly dwarfed by its swamp cooler in 1944, the Henderson Library District precedes the city by almost ten years. The Gibson library replaced the original Henderson Library (1953-1989) that was housed on the corner of Water Street and Pacific Avenue. The library is named for State Senator James Isaac Gibson, 1925-1988, who served in the state legislature for twenty-nine years from 1959 to 1988. He was instrumental in acquiring funds for the library's construction.

What the new library means to me...

Marsha', our Adult Services Specialist, has been working for the Henderson Libraries for over three years. Recently she shared her thoughts on what she is looking forward to the most in the new library: a bigger computer lab, large windows throughout the building, and the drive-through window.

Charlotte, one of our Circulation Specialists, has been with the library for 15 years. She's looking forward to a separate office space for the Circulation department as well as a larger breakroom.
