Kingwood Branch Library — Attraction in Houston

I love coming to the Library in general because I like to be at a place where I can focus to read, work, study or to participate in activities meant to educate you and help you learn and develop a skill. At Kingwood Library I really enjoy doing all the these things, the cleanliness of the place, the nice setting and the variety of material you can find there makes it a special place. Staff is very professional, one of the ladies that works there is just amazing, she conducts the “Coffee and Coloring” program that I have enjoyed many times for the last 5 years…, I’m very grateful for her and all what the Library offers.

I’ve been to several libraries and none had separate spaces like this for children/adults. It was either mixed or a “quiet reading room” that you could hear children playing, and loud talking through the glass. Definitely worth the longer drive from Atascocita to have the upgraded amenities and...

While I enjoy the location of this library, the friendliness/helpfulness of the employees, and the vast array of material/computers available. I must complain about the policies regarding their private study rooms. I understand the need to have a 2 hour limit on the reservations of these rooms, especially when the library is extremely busy. But my complaint is in regards to the employees kicking you out of the room when your 2 hours is up, even when there is no one else needing the room, or when the other rooms are clearly empty and they have no future reservations. If the rooms are not being used by other patrons then why kick out the individuals...
