Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch for our 4th Annual Homeschool Curriculum Swap!
As we continue our efforts to enfold our growing homeschool families and groups, the idea of a curriculum swap was brought to our attention. We loved it! What a great opportunity to provide a space for sharing resources and continuing our mission of access to information for all! It's what libraries are built to do.
We have changed it up. You can shop and drop off May 12th to May 14th!
Do you need help learning the basics or completing tasks using a computer, your tablet, or your phone? Get one-on-one 30 minute sessions here! Two slots available on Mondays at 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Please call 832-927-5400 or stop by the front desk to reserve a time slot.
Join us for a free class to help you prepare for your naturalization interview and civics test. An English assessment must be taken for class admittance. Taking this class does not grant citizenship or pay for any application fees. Registration is required as space is limited.

Read Against the Machine is a nonfiction book club exploring social, cultural, historical, and political topics. Selections highlight varied perspectives and encourage readers to think critically about the ideas and narratives that shape contemporary life.
In May, we are reading Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Makatsuki Houston.
"During World War II the incarceration camp called Manzanar was hastily created in the high mountain desert country of California, east of the Sierras. Its purpose? To house thousands of Japanese Americans.
Join Michael, Octavia Field Library Branch's Children's Librarian, for an hour of nursery rhymes, storytelling, arts & crafts and playtime. We'll talk, sing, write, read and play, and your toddler age kiddos will have so much fun that they won't even realize they are gaining valuable pre-literacy skills. Ages 0-5.
Note: Please note that the date has changed from May 13th to May 27th due to an issue receiving supplies.
