Katy Branch Library

When Texas lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, The Librarians explores the broader implications for education and public life.

Join Harris County Public Library and Texas Freedom to Read Project for a screening of the documentary and a panel following the film.

This class is designed for students who are interested in learning and practicing speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills in English. Classes are free and all materials are provided.

Join us for a night of junk journaling where we'll use crafting supplies and personal memorabilia to create or work on your junk journal! We'll provide basic crafting supplies and scraps, but we encourage you to bring your own materials!

What is junk journaling? It's similar to scrapbooking but less polished and structured. Here, we'll use scraps and random tidbits of found materials to express ourselves and preserve memories. Think about receipts from purchases on a trip, ticket stubs from a movie, a torn piece from a brochure, etc. 

Ready to play? Drop in for our monthly teen game night featuring Nintendo Switch battles and a selection of your favorite board games. Whether you're here to compete or just relax, we'll have snacks and a great time waiting for you! Open to tweens and teens in 6th grade through 12th grade (ages 11-18).

Little Sprouts Baby Story Time is a ticketed story time that is every Tuesday at 11 am at the Katy Library. Please make sure to arrive early to receive a ticket. This event is for non-walking babies only. We ask that older children are left out for safety.
