We signed up for toddlers story time and it was very well done, songs and stories. They also have a large play room where toddlers can play with toys and each other. We'll be back, our grandbaby liked it.

By far my favorite spot to study for board exams in Houston. All of the tables have really nice views around the library. I will caution you that the library gets really loud from the hours of 3-5PM due to schools letting out nearby, so I’d recommend to bring a good pair of noise canceling headphones.

I have not been to this location in quite some time and I was happy to see that it's still in the contending to be my favorite library in the Houston metro area. If there is legitimately a better one than this, please let me know. Staff are really friendly and helpful. I had such a struggle trying to get the barcode on my card to scan and was told by the woman working the desk that the trick is to angle it away from me. Don't just lay it flat on the surface of the counter under the scanner. I wish they had more audiobooks, but maybe the era of DVDs and physical media is gone and I'm in the minority. They have great services too! Help make Houston's next generation literate lovers of literature and take them to your local library y'all. Also, great place to get your passport.

Great library overall! Came here to get some studying done. Looks there are a lot of books. There are lots of cool props and designs laid out on the walls and ceiling. There are lots of open tables and computers which makes it easy to study.

Only issue is that the internet was very spotty. On their wifi, there was difficulty connecting and when it did connect, it was spotty and disconnected or slowed down at times.

Great place for relaxed studying but I'd be careful about internet intensive activities.

Staff was friendly though and took time to come to my table and answer questions/ concerns. Overall still a great study spot.

Do not visit after school hours. It’s the noisiest library I’ve ever been to, with children treating it like a playground. While I’m glad kids have a place to go, the noise should be better controlled because it is a library at the end of the day. There are few spots to study and the furniture is worn. Overall, I did not have a pleasant experience and I will not be coming back.

The library is clean and personnel was helpful being our first time there. We mainly stayed in the children’s corner but they have plenty of book’s and easy self check out. I gave them four stars due to I wish they had someone directing some sort of arts and crafts or have a creative corner for those in elementary age currently we only saw baby learning blocks and toys. They open late in my opinion for those parents who homeschool or have to find ways to entertain children under school age.

Awesome library!! I use to take my children all the time. My daughter wanted to see what it looks like. It is a nice size library with a good selection of books. Very friendly staff. There is a security guard on site and metal detectors. Only thing I don't like is how people drive/park in the parking lot. It's horrible.

Where to start? My parents both needed to apply for a passport for the first time and when i looked up a place to go and get it done i got all the results on my google maps and of course the usps places all came up which i knew about but i wanted them to get a good service and positive experience and all the usps places had reviews of no more than 2 stars and with many negative things people said. So i looked at libraries and this one was the only one that had good reviews. I made the appt online for them and we went there and the experience there was excellent. They didn't only meet expectations but they excelled at it. I will always recommend this place for passport.. quick, easy, and great service.
