Library and college staff members, as well as generous community members, have created stunning displays over such diverse subjects as Star Wars memorabilia, antique dolls, camera history, Renaissance weaponry, and artifacts from India. Come by now to see a display of American Lighthouses.

We are currently looking for unique collections to fill the display case during the summer and fall months. If you would be interested in displaying a collection of items or have any questions, please contact the library at 832-559-4211.

Global Youth Service Day is an annual campaign that celebrates and mobilizes the millions of children and youth who improve their communities each day of the year through service and service-learning.

Established in 1988, GYSD is the largest service event in the world and is now celebrated in over 100 countries. On GYSD, children and youth address the world’s most critical issues in partnership with families, schools, community and faith-based organizations, businesses, and governments.

Opting to serve their local community instead of writing the traditional research paper assignment, the students have partnered with EdenBrook of Champions to volunteer with senior citizens.   Each student, as part of their assignment, had to make contact with the agency, serve a minimum of 10 hours in direct contact with residents, and share in class through a public speaking assignment how the experience resulted in improved communication ability.   The ongoing service-learning assignment is designed to fit with GYSD’s “Semester of Service” option, which expands the community impact from just a few days in April to a semester-long partnership with the community agency.

To learn more about service-learning at LSC-Tomball, please contact Professor Clark Friesen at (281) 401-1807.
