Bracewell Neighborhood Library — Attraction in Houston

This is a nice library and I do like the kid’s programs they have BUT every summer when the reading club starts they give everyone such a hard time when you want to pick up your prizes. They only want you to go specific times And don’t post that information any where. They have so many regulations on when you can get your prizes and often seem like they are complaining when doing it. It’s like they hate doing it. Hello? It’s your job. I’ve gone an hour before a summer event & they said no I’ve gone 2 hours after an event & they said no. I’ve gone 45 minutes before closing and they said no.

I had to go to another Houston library after they telling me no 45 minutes till closing & this library was 30 minutes before closing and they were more that HAPPY to give the prizes out.

It really annoys me about this library. This will be the 6 year we join the summer reading club and every year it is the same battle with the prizes which the prizes usually suck too by the way. I just do it because my kids love it and it helps me want to read more.

I just wanted everyone to know this...

The staff is very friendly and helpful. I think they need a little more support staff during peak hours though. The library is very calm and relaxing. The computers and printers work very well. The books, magazine's, DVD's, and CD's are all in very good shape. The facilities are kept cleaner than those in some people's homes which I find surprising. This is a relatively new library that replaced the one located in the Almeda Mall shopping center, but with the same name. I hope that this branch keeps up the good work. A+ across the board. Thank you to the staff of the library and the City of Houston for providing such a nice and...

Went here for the first time the other day and won’t be my last! The staff was nice; I met Donny and he was awesome!

✅ I haven’t browsed much of the books yet, but they have many older or some recent books from what I can see. There is a multilingual section too, including Vietnamese books.

✅ The library was quiet when I went (between 11 AM-1 PM). Has some seating for studying or working on your laptop.

❌ Could have some more...
