Houston Public Library - Kendall Neighborhood Library

This library is great! Super clean and spacious. The kids area is great! There are plenty of toys, books and space for kids to read. The bathrooms in the kids area were super clean too. We stayed for story time and my son had a wonderful time. Everyone was helpful.

Libraries, informational avenues, connect the past with the current. This Houston city branch was remodeled following Hurricane Harvey. It is a favorite beacon for education! The adult section, located on level two, offers a wide-ranging interesting selection of books, computer access, along with an updated best-seller listing nestled nearby. There are nooks, side-wall chairs and table desks, a comfortably large conference room, along with two privately enclosed spaces reservable for study. A semi-private seating space for newspaper and magazine reading is also available. This well-run branch appears well attended by the local community, and is well-lit, clean, while employing a welcoming extremely helpful staff. This is a perfect place for a learning experience! Ample parking is an added plus! Update: April 2026 was National Poetry Month! Found are strength in words - simple - reflective - contemplative - all the while, feeding the individual soul while also hoping to heal the collective world scars, one word at a time…

Great spacious library with kids and teens having their own floor! We’ve been enjoying this library for years even before they were closed down due to water damage from the storm. I’ve never had a problem with the employees here UNTIL my kids and I came in today (Friday February 3rd at 2:30pm) of course there is no one here because most kids are in school (my kids are homeschooled) so there was only my kids and ONE other kid with his dad. I was literally watched the first 20 minutes we were there (a lady with glasses was working this shift. I signed my kid on one computer and checked out several books (still being watched like a hawk) I went up to the lady to ask her for a guest pass/code to sign up on a second computer. I was asked “DO YOU HAVE A LIBRARY CARD? umm you just watched me check out books and sign my daughter into one of the computers. So I responded “how do you think she’s using that computer “ and pointed to my daughter then I was quizzed again about what school is my son enrolled into. MIND YOU LAST TIME WE CAME WE WERE NOT ASKED NONE OF THIS! My son was just given a guest code to use the computer. Then this woman tried to act like she just realized I had 2 kids even through it was just my kids and one other kid there!! Just absolutely ridiculous. Be prepared to be profiled and quizzed if you’re a minority!

Easy to navigate. Love the option of a private place to read for a while. I needed the non distraction.

Wow. What a fabulous library for the neighborhood. I didn't get to visit the gym on the day I went. There is a floor for kids lit and an adult floor. Plenty of small private working rooms and larger community rooms for studying. Plenty of parking and near the walking trail.
