I recently moved to Texas to be closer to my parents and to start work being that I am graduating in June. I'm using the library as my second place of residence for the next 6 weeks so I can before for my board exams. The library is very new and is stock full of great books, magazines, movies, computers, and lots of comfy chairs and tables to use. There is plenty of help if you can't find what your looking for and there is a great section for children. Each day there are different classes you can take from computer 101 to art classes. My favorite part of the library is the view of Memory Lake. Memory Lake has been built in remembrance of loved ones who have since passed away. There are many flowers, trees, benches, and walkways dedicated to these special people who are now in Heaven. The wild life and habitats throughout the lake make this a great place to walk your dog, take your children for walks, and to learn about all the different animals, plants, and trees that make up the area. Each day I take my lunch break from studying to explore a new section. I would recommend stopping by here to check out a DVD, catch up on the morning paper and to take a stroll around the lake.

I've been here two times, first time was great because i wasn't approached by anyone i guess. The staff at the front desk were very kind and helpful. Second time back yesterday, my son and i played quietly for an hour on the puzzle carpet, he had been hearing kids play in a room close to the bathrooms, he asked to play with the kids so we walked over there together and i stood right at the door way watching him, two min go by and the other boys in the room are still loud, my son who just got in that room, was yelled at along with the other boys by the librarian. Now i understand it's a library but these are toddlers. You should've talked to the parents who were sitting right there watching their kids be loud. While i agree its their parents duty i didn't say anything because i know my son was not yelling at all. So I kept quiet, a couple minutes later i walk my son to the bathroom to blow his nose where i had the door open to the hallway, i had just thanked him for being such a quiet kid in the library and have fun playing when we get back. On the way out of the bathroom a white woman in a black shirt, lanyard, shirt bob haircut walks past us, she proceeds to follow me back to the toy room and immediately as I'm trying to back up just to stand to watch my son again, she rudely says to me "you NEED to watch your son" so i turned around and said excuse me because she didn't introduce herself, my back was turned to her, I've never spoken to her before or seen her, and she follows up to tell me i can't be leaving my child unattended. So i immediately stop her and say i don't, he's always with me. She tries to tell me well earlier i saw you, i interrupt her there, because NO, you didn't see me without my kid. I tell her "NO YOU DIDN'T, i stay with my child." And all she says is oh okay then walks away. I have no idea who you are lady but that's not how to approach people. Especially when your asking question to someone for the first time. Don't assume because my Mexican kid and i are around all these other white families that's it's MY child that's acting up unattended. If you heard something about an unattended child, do your due diligence first before barking orders at the wrong one. I will not be coming back here and that's such a shame because the library is great. The admin staff?? You all need to be retrained on how to deal with people. You're lucky my kid was with me. Do better next time lady.

Suburban H-town libraries - 2 of 2 - Far north end…read more If any library review needs a tag line, it's this one - the Kingwood Branch Library. As you drive up to it and park, it may portend disappointment, but "Don't Judge a Book by its Cover." Let me explain. Kingwood is a master planned community that has some cachet, containing many named and themed neighborhoods, and it is the farthest northeasterly tentacle of the city of Houston. However, as you approach this library, you are looking at the short side of a big rectangle. The library entrance is reached by following a trellised path down its side. Then, when you turn and enter the library, you finally realize it's a substantial two level facility. Most of the key areas in the Kingwood Branch Library are upstairs. This would include the stacks, open study areas with tables, study rooms, computers, and very comfortable lounge-like reading areas, the latter of which will not be suitable for "lounge lizards." Downstairs, one finds circulation, a children's area, community rooms, restrooms, and even a used bookstore. However, with its high ceilings and big windows, the upstairs makes for a very likable place to be. With Kingwood branding itself as the "livable forest," the windows bring in the abundant verdant aspects of this area and, even if ridiculously hot outside, provide a soothing feeling inside. This is a fitting library for this relatively newer area. The staff at this library is very helpful. They were on point with helping me with my low maintenance needs ... and did so with a smile! Another thing to note is a bureaucratic issue that might confuse some. Since it is within the city of Houston proper, one might think it's a branch of the Houston Public Library (HPL). It is not, although there are many HPL branches. Instead, the library in Kingwood is part of the Harris County Public Library system. That said, some of the libraries in H-town will be HPL libraries, while others in the city, and in nearby municipalities, will be in the Harris County Public Library system. They are not one and the same.

Right when you walk in they have a books store where you can scroll through so many hard to find titles. Reminds me of my days of hanging out in a Half Price Book Store location. They also have a drive thru for book returns. How cool is that. Not sure if other locations have this, the only one I've seen was the Freeman Library in Clear Lake when I lived there. It is open post Covid and they do have their hours and contact info updated on their website. I was looking for a quiet place to get some work done and do some reading. I am so glad I decided to swing by to see what's new here.

When you get to the gate, you have to call them and then they confirm that it's you they let you in and then there's a designated parking area which has a lot of spaces. They also check your ID once you walk into the library and then give you a sticker. After that you are good to go and study wherever you want. I even walked around the grounds for a little bit on my way out. It looks very English countryside, even though I've never been to the English countryside. I think this is what it would look like.
