Fort Bend County Libraries University Branch location is located in Sugar Land next to the…read moreUniversity of Houston's Sugar Land campus/university library. Spacious and filled with many resources for community members, students, and library card holders. I've been to this location many times. During my most recent visit I stopped in to pick up my Summer Reading Color Our World prizes! I stopped by two information desks and eventually they informed me that I needed to go upstairs. Once I made it to that desk, the ladies were helpful. I'll be sure to take a picture of my rewards for the Grown Ups Reading Challenge. I received water bottles, sticky notes/flags/pens, drawstring bag, and pen pouches. Defintely worth stopping by and joining the reading challenge! If I'm in the area this is a library I'd return to.

There's plenty of seating inside. Computers were also available to use for up to four consecutive hours once I obtained a library card and number to sign in. If you need to charge your phones or electronic devices, there are plenty of outlets available. There's first come first serve study rooms for those that do require more concentration. For a person who loves reading books for learning and for pleasure, this place was great. I haven't combed through a physical book in a long time, since we have pdfs and Kindle apps on our iPhones. But, this library was refreshing. They even have manga books translated to English. Here, you can borrow any book from and return it to any fort bend county library in 21 days. That's awesome. In addition, they have study rooms here and computers for kids to play games on. On their website, FBC libraries also have book clubs you can attend or reserve new books that are released to borrow. Not sure how long it takes for anyone to actually get a new book, though. Plus, it's relatively quiet here, so I feel extremely productive when I'm here to do any sort of work. My regret is that I didn't find this spot sooner. They're even open on Saturdays if you need to work on some things. Logistics-wise, this library is actually located within the UH-SL campus. When you enter, the library is on your left side. Just follow the signs for library parking. Since I went during post-Hurricane Beryl, the gate lever was open to the parking lot. However, during normal business hours, you need to take a ticket before entering the lot and validate your parking ticket with the library staff before you leave the library parking lot. Overall, I will be coming back here again when I need some quiet time or work done.

There is also a drive up book return box in the front of the building now. Seems like they are open at full capacity now.

I have moved here from Missouri where such a concept would be taken as the utmost joke of the century. There the libraries are open 10 am to 9 pm 5 days a week and by the way they don't charge their citizens for driving on highways. Anyway I give 3 stars to the Eldridge branch because the fiction collection is so blah. Full sets of James Patterson, Joan Collins, Danielle Steele and not much of literary, classics, diverse, prize winning books. The great writers of classics are represented with only one novel each, of their not so popular ones.

It's especially great for those with small kids, they have a dedicated area on the first floor for small children to have fun, including a computer area as well as well as a play area with children's toys. I often see many families take their kids here on the weekend to read and play. They also have planned activities throughout the week such as story time for kids of all ages. We applied for a library card here and the process was seamless as well. Overall a great library, highly recommend for everyone in the community!

There is a large selection of books, so it's a great place to browse. They just had an outdoor story time yesterday for babies and young kids, and it was really well executed. The youth librarians involved were well prepared and engaging, so it was a fun time for both kids and adults. Parking is plentiful and free (unlike at the University Branch Library, where parking has to be validated if it's over 1 hour and you risk getting a ticket if you park in the wrong place).

I needed jumper cables for my truck and they had me waiting for 30 minutes only to tell me they can't help. Then I call the parking department so they can void the additional costs I have due to waiting and they straight up did not care and charged me anyway. Coming into this program as a transfer I had to dig and figure things out by myself because they're unorganized and do not care about anything else apart from money. Go to school somewhere else.

There is a water bottle refill station next to the individual bathrooms. The ambiance is stunning and modern, not exactly silent but not too loud despite the presence of a children's section. We didn't try out the other amenities of those library, as we had a lot of studying to do. Would highly recommend as a place to quietly meet up with a friend, get some remote work done, or escape the Houston heat for free!

Color tinted windows brighten up the gloomiest and rainiest of days. Artsy geometric themes line the walls, ceilings, and furniture. Whatever your reason for visiting, the interior provides an abundant amount of space for it. More importantly than aesthetics, this library goes above and beyond in the resources it provides. It has passport services, computers, printers, study spaces, and books, similar to most libraries. What most libraries don't have though? Video recording studios, podcast rooms, and sound engineering booths. All fully equipped with instruments, all soundproof, and all FREE. OF. CHARGE. I absolutely love seeing this available. It provides people a creative outlet and a chance to feel heard. Other available gadgets include 3D printers, Cricut machines, and premium media editing software. C.J. and several other employees are at your service if you ever need a tutorial. According to the American Enterprise Institute, library visits have decreased by roughly 31% since 2000. I wouldn't have been able to tell based on my visit today. I saw plenty of parents, kids, and students lost in their own worlds. Free third spaces (locations other than work and home) have become increasingly rare; turns out that if you build a pretty library that's valuable to all, the community will come. I can't emphasize enough how cool this library is. It's a rare sight of tax dollars being utilized incredibly effectively. This isn't some privileged resource in River Oaks or Memorial Village; it's located in the unassuming suburbs of Westbury just outside of I-610. You'll leave this library impressed one way or the other. See for yourself.

Lots of shared parking spaces. The librarian pulled my book to the front desk. Walk across the bridge to Camden Park. This urban park is so nice.
