Cy-Fair College Branch Library

This library is very nice and I love that they have the «self check-​out» which is very convenient and something I had not ever seen at a library before. I also like their «hold» system (unless I did it wrong) everyone’s requested books are on the shelf and you just search by your name to pick up your books, as opposed to having to stand in line and ask someone at the front desk for them. It is really big and, like others have mentioned, it is connected to the Lonestar CyFair campus which will come in handy for me when school starts. Also, it has a coffee shop right inside.
My biggest complaint is that when you log onto the computers, there’s not a direct link to the library’s catalogue, so if you’re new to this location, you’re left trying to figure it out on your own or ask the desk clerk. And, there’s one clerk in particular who’s not very friendly and seems irritated when you have to ask for anything. The others seem nice enough and very helpful.

The best library that I have visited close to the North Houston area. This place is huge for a public library. It is pretty kid friendly as well and I was just surprised by their selection of books. If you are a bookworm and enjoy visiting libraries then this one is surely worthy of a visit!

This is a very nice library! There’s a kid friendly room immediately as you walk in on the left. There are over a hundred computer stations for use everywhere — in a common area, in separate rooms and distributed along the bookshelves. The video and music area within the first several rows has a large selection. The best part is any books or videos can be requested online and waiting in interoffice envelopes in the pick up section straight across from checkout! So easy. They even have a mobile app now. Other than the main checkout desk, there are also three to four self check kiosks. As you leave on the right, stop by the Friends of the Library Bookstore. Very cheap books and textbooks for sale. Love this place!

This is a really nice library in general. They have a large selection to choose from, and items can be requested for you to borrow from other campuses as well. If you want to check out books, you can just use their self checkout stations.

the library itself is attached to Lone Star College which means there’s a lot of traffic at any given day… even summer when i was there almost every day.
there’s a small café in the library with a microwave so you can get free wireless, buy a coffee, surf the net, and microwave your lunch all at the same time.
its free wireless throughout. there are two levels and plenty of room to set up a laptop (including outlets everywhere) and/​or lounge in a couch to study or take a quick nap.
the downstairs and upstairs areas both have personal computers to work on if you dont have your own.
i warn you, downstairs is a lot of traffic and not a good area for quiet studying, make your way upstairs in the far corners.
they do have the typical shelves for books but i just find/​reserve them online and pick it up.
there is a unique area designed for children. its set off to one side and is very cute and amiable to children of different ages.
parking sucks. i usually have to park far… there’s plenty of spaces but the close ones are always taken…
the check out system is kind of nice bc its self check out. you just place your books on the machine and ta-​dah you are done.
but if you need the assistance of a librarian, they were all really nice and helpful, even the volunteers.
smiles everywhere. its nice library — a bit far from me, but a good place to study or surf.

This library rocks! My family reads a lot and we have always been book buyers, not library folk. Money’s been tighter the last year or so, so we began getting some books from the library. I very rarely go in and browse. Typically I go to the internet, pick the books I want and request them. They email you when they are there. What a service! Once you check the book out, go back to the internet and you can renew the book twice so it is yours for 6 weeks! The books can come from any of the Harris County libraries so the wait can be a few days to weeks. Also, it depends on if there are any other people waiting on the book but it will show you what your number is in the queue.
If you have kids, the children’s library is to die for. It is kind of separated in it’s own room and has its own libarians.
The library has DVDs and videos including children’s stuff. They even have leapfrog things you can checkout. The best part of the library is the self checkout. I love it when it works, it is a lot of fun!

One of the best libraries in Houston by far! I love this library. It shares the campus with Cy-​Fair community college, so it is very easy to find. The library is great and has a wonderful collection of all kinds of books. Yes, I love the Harris County Public Library. The service has always been friendly and they are very helpful. I personally have always enjoyed their location, as it is very modern and well organized. I actually prefer the Harris county public library to the Houston public library, for some reason the people at the Houston public library never seem very happy…
The only bad thing about the Harris County Public library is that since it is so popular, wait times for books on hold are very long. But they have an internet service that sends you an email when they are ready. I really love that! Also, you can go on their website and browse their very extensive collection! Come on, go to the library and enjoy a book!
