Houston Public Library - Central Library

Spacious and well-maintained public library with a clean, inviting kids' area. Enjoyed the “Bones of Texas” photography exhibit in the gallery—great mix of learning and culture.

It was clean. The restrooms were great. There was an eclectic mix of folks there. I really like that you can borrow a laptop and work and also they were ensuring that everyone was respectful to each of the other guests so their people in there that want to keep order librarian style.

The first floor is very nice and large. I would highly recommend that Houston invest in their children and bring all of the children’s books from the 4th floor to the 1st. The fourth floor was stuffy and claustrophobic, and no place to enrich children’s minds. Also the bathrooms need a renovation and some way to dry your hands.

Had some time to kill so we took my granddaughter to the kids' section. It's clean with lots of books and imaginative play areas. The librarians were great. And you get an hour of free parking in the garage!

Came here to apply for Passport, we were served by Christine Steward who’s extremely efficient and friendly. With the exception of toilet, rest of the library was clean, well maintained and well lit. All the staff we interact with were helpful and very friendly as well! Overall, a very pleasant experience!
