Join us for our weekly homeschool meet up, where kids can engage in STEAM activities such as building challenges, fiber art crafts, science experiments, process art, games, and more, all while having fun and socializing. Parents/caregivers are welcome to join each other in the library for an informational session and networking.

*Recommended for children ages 5-11, under 5 must have an accompanying adult.

The Meta4 Slam Series continues with "The Silent H" Community Qualifier Slam. The event begins with an open mic, followed by a Poetry Slam Qualifier competition event. Performers in the qualifier have the opportunity to advance to semi-finals, the final 12, and (ultimately) earn a spot on the Meta4 poetry slam national competition team.

All Houston-area poets ages 13-19 are eligible to participate. Slams are open-mic style—no registration needed! Simply show up ready to perform.

Meet the team here!

Join us every Thursday for a fun hour full of crafts and workshops. Relax, have a snack in a safe and welcoming space!

You're invited to attend Story Time every Tuesday at 11 am. 

Story Time is a great way for children to build early literacy skills with stories, rhymes and songs. Parents are encouraged to participate by sitting with children and singing (and learning!) new songs. 

Last half hour is craft time!
