Notable quote
"I know we love the old library, it's gonna be right down the street, but this is now going to be the Montrose Collective," Council Member Abbie Kamin said. "[There are] a lot of innovative things happening and [it is a] really, really special addition to District C."
The bottom line
Kamin also said at the meeting that construction of the library is expected to wrap either at the end of 2023 or in early January 2024. The new library will be located on the second and third floors of the Montrose Collective, at 1001 California St., Houston.
