Kids

Haunted homeschoolers, join us in the Grand Chamber for a morning of spine-tingling creativity and monstrous masterpieces at Crafts from the Crypt!

Every week this October at 11:00 AM, creative ghouls and goblins ages 5–10 will gather at the library to resurrect ordinary craft supplies into spectacularly spooky art. From friendly phantoms to creepy-crawly keepsakes, each session will be horridly fun and hands-on for growing monsters--we mean makers. Parents, don't fear—the mess stays with us in the crypt.

Do you have a child in kindergarten through 3rd grade who loves stories—or one who could use a little extra reading support? Harris County Public Library’s Book Buddies is a FREE, fun-filled literacy program that pairs enthusiastic, trained teen volunteers (our amazing Big Buddies) with younger readers (Little Buddies) for 9 weeks of reading adventures!

Reading Sessions begin: Mondays | 4:45 PM – 5:30 PM

Join us for this special 5-week parent-child workshop designed to support early childhood development while strengthening the bond between children and their caregivers. Children ages 1–3 will enjoy hands-on play with toys and activities that encourage creativity, exploration, and learning.
