Come and see Hedgie, our hedgehog, the library pet here at the Barbara Bush Branch Library!
He will be awake and ready to meet you! Learn some interesting hedgehog facts and watch as Hedgie explores his surroundings. He may even let you pet him!
This is a ticketed event. Tickets are free and available in the children's department 15 minutes prior to the start of the program.
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 and guardians are encouraged to participate by sitting with children and singing (and learning!) new songs.
Last half hour is craft time! Children of all ages are welcome.
We cannot host daycares or groups.

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!
Come sing, dance, jump, and listen to wonderful stories with other pre-school-aged kids every Thursday morning at Parker Williams Library

Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Attendees will receive 3D Printer and Lulzbot Mini 2 (machine) badges in Beanstack upon completion of orientation.
