Tweens

Looking to refresh your homeschool resources? Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch Bi-Annual Homeschool Curriculum Swap! Swap gently used curriculum, share ideas with fellow homeschoolers, and find new materials for the upcoming school year.

As we continue our efforts to welcome our growing homeschool families and groups, the idea of a curriculum swap has come to our attention. We loved it! What a great opportunity to provide a space to share resources and continue our mission of access to information for all! It's what libraries are built to do.

Come get crafty at the Barbara Bush Branch Library on our Tween Craft Day!

Have some fun creating a different project each month. All materials will be provided.

This program is strictly for ages 8 to 12. If there are Littles in your group, please come to the Family Place play area to engage in age appropriate distractions while the siblings are crafting new creations.
Supplies are limited, so please pick up a ticket from the Children's staff prior to the program.

For high school and middle school students only. Meet in the computer lab for crafts, movies, & games.

Get Creative with Cricut! This orientation session will introduce participants to Cricut machine capabilities, operation, and use. Completion of this orientation session is mandatory before patrons can schedule time to use the Cricut at Harris County Public Library.

We will meet in the Meeting Room on the 1st Floor.

Express Children's Theatre presents An Art Class for Kids with Frida Kahlo, commissioned by Rothko Chapel. Through a fun, time-bending adventure, the legendary artist Frida Kahlo travels from 1940s Mexico to teach a creative art class! Participants will learn about Frida's life and artistic style while creating their own self-portraits using crayons and colored pencils.

Join us at Aldine for a game night! Whether you want to play Smash Bros on the Switch or fight over Uno, we’ll have the game for you
