Houston Public Library - Heights Branch

A really cute library. Very friendly staff and very well maintained library. I love the architecture of the building and the little cute spots within. A very comfortable and clean area for little kids as well. Definitely worth checking this place out. No registration required for access to library but you need to sign up (for free) to rent out books.

Built in 1925, this library building, an architectural gem, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Stately live oak trees grace the front entrance. In his books and interviews, Dan Rather tells how visiting this library as a youngster opened his eyes to the world. There is a sense of history. The staff is friendly. The stacks are well organized with a nice selection of fiction and non-fiction. They have a nice display of new books. It definitely has a neighborly feel. I like the new conveyor belt scanner system installed in June 2025 that automatically checks in books. Remember the Dr. Seuss quote - " The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

I’ve always had a wonderful experience with the Heights Library. I loved the Baby and Me Storytime, the children’s area, and the ability to quickly and easily pick up any holds. The staff are always very friendly and helpful!

This Is a really great library to go to if you need to use the internet in peace. They have really helpful librarians especially this guy in the pics. I didn't know how to download pdf files and instead of him making me feel bad he helped m through the entire process. I really couldn't have gotten it done without his help. They have safe parking and it's in a good area. This is a good place to take your kids.

This is by far one of the worst English courses I have ever taken. The instructor does not teach or explain the material. He simply reads the grammar out loud and completes the exercises on his own, without engaging the students or checking for understanding. The sessions also start late almost every time, and the instructor repeatedly shares his personal phone number with students, which I find extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. Additionally, the course includes no real skills training whatsoever — there is no reading practice, no speaking practice, and no listening practice. The course provides absolutely zero value. I strongly advise others not to waste their time or money on this program. It is completely disappointing and does not meet even the minimum standards of an English course.
