Love playing the Pokémon card game and discussing all things Pokémon with fellow fans? Join the Pokémon League every first and third Saturday, sponsored by the Magnolia City Pokémon Gym.

Join us for an event for plant owners to gather and swap plants. This could include whole plants or cuttings/clippings, as long as they are pest free, as well as seeds and supplies, that you're willing to part with.
Come prepared to trade your plants with other plant lovers and go home with a new (to you) plant. All ages, plants, and level of plant experience is welcome!
No monetary transactions may be completed within the library; this is strictly trading only.
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 on Wednesdays at 11:00 am for Toddler Story Time! This 30-minute Story Time is designed for toddlers aged 1 to 3 years old.

It's a great way to meet other caregivers and give your toddler a chance to socialize.
Siblings are always welcome.
We meet in the children's area where the picture books and campfire rug are located.
No registration or tickets required.
