Below is your easy reference list of the 8 local Downtown Houston libraries featured on Macaroni KID Downtown Houston's event calendar. The event calendars for each library can get a little overwhelming; you’ll find on Macaroni KID Downtown Houston a more simplified way to find library events by searching name of library. Simply go to event calendar and in search tool bar type in the name of any of the libraries below, i.e. Freed-Montrose, Heights, etc… and you will see the full list of all upcoming events for that location only. I've also included links to those calendars below, they stay up to date!
In addition, a nifty map featuring purple library icons gives you a birds eye view of where on the map these local libraries are in proximity to you and each other!
I hope parents new to Houston find this useful, and just the same, I hope established local families who don't frequent the library, revisit again and again! 📚
