We are bringing children's books to life through song with our beloved program Storybook Opera! Storybook Opera! supports literacy development with interactive, singing storytellers. This program is perfect for children in Grades Pre-K through 2!
Come see Books Alive bring the children's book The Ballerina with Webbed Feet! from the page to the stage in a fully-staged original musical play that your family will love!
Books Alive adapts children's literature into fully-staged original 45 minute musicals, carefully honoring the author’s message, encouraging students to develop a healthy love of books, while often providing their first opportunity to see live theatre. Crafted and performed by a professional troupe, productions are bright, engaging, fun, and entertaining for all ages!

This FREE Art Camp is a program in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MFAH) that has been available at HCPL branches since Summer 2000. This program is made available to us for free, thanks to grants that the MFAH receives. With this program six library branches per year take advantage of week-long summer art camp in which teachers from the prestigious MFAH Glassell school for the Arts come in to teach kids ages 7-12 art classes (10am – 12pm) for four days in the selected week (Mon-Thurs) culminating in a free field trip on Friday (bus provided) to the museum!
