The Heart of Our School
Children stream in and out of it all day long. When they leave with a book, they carry a precious resource vital to educational life. Now—and for years to come—Harvard students will learn to read in an environment that conveys the joy and wonder in the world of books. Well known Heights-area muralist Suzanne Sellers has rendered scenes from beloved children’s books on the walls.
On August 8, 2007 Houston Independent School District’s Board of Education, honored Mrs. Patricia A. Tubbs with a Board Commendation and officially named the new Harvard library, The Charles B. and Patricia A. Tubbs Children’s Library, for her generousity through the Tubbs Charitable Trust.
