This location offers used books for sale to support the library in the lobby along with its restrooms. There's a Help Desk manned by friendly supportive staff as you enter to accommodate visitors.

Check their website for upcoming weekly family events. Reading has been a lifelong passion of mine. There's no place quite like it to get lost in.

There was also a woman in the library talking on her cell phone loudly for a long time and the staff said nothing to her about it. What I was doing, throwing garbage into a garbage can, wouldn't have bothered anyone and nobody would have even noticed but they let that other lady break the library rules with impunity, bothering a lot of people. They need to get their priorities straight over there as far as customer service. Maybe pay more attention to what's going on in the library instead of staring at the security camera for the back break area making sure nobody contaminates their precious garbage can with... garbage. And I for one question their authority to do so. I doubt it's illegal to throw garbage into that garbage can. They have a sign that says staff only parking but it doesn't say staff only garbage. Sometimes petty bureaucrats imagine they have more power than their actual authority and some people need to learn the difference between being a petty bureaucrat and being a library, need to learn their job. But if they are correct and that's only their precious garbage of the precious staff is allowed to go into that garbage can, maybe that policy needs to change. We should be grateful when people put their garbage into any garbage can because otherwise who knows where it might end up. Don't mess with Texas!

I am so fortunate to live in this community that provides such a beautiful place to spend a quiet afternoon reading or just enjoying all the great programs they seem to have all the time! They just recently went through some remodeling and the place is really nice and cozy now! Many places to sit with comfortable desks and chairs throughout! Their periodical section is a favorite. I love catching up on all my favorite magazines in this place! One of the best libraries in the area!

I am taking mainly night classes and online classes here.I really like this campus because it's not a big campus and the parking is great. It's kind of in a neighborhood so it's very quiet and I feel safe when I am leaving or going to class in the evening. The majority of the study body are adults who work full-time or a SAHM who are seeking to earn a degree from a creditable University. The prices for tuition is not as steep as UH main campus. I do wish the library was bigger and the campus stayed open later than 10 pm. It's pretty cool that on random nights they give free snacks/ pizza and drinks for the students.

Kendall library is a mainstay in Energy Corridor with strengths being the cleanliness and accessibility. It's close to the Terry Hershey park so you can walk/bike here and there's a good amount of parking here. The library is three stories and has areas for children and young adults. I found myself on the second floor where I occupied one of the two study rooms to get some work done. There's also a meeting room and several computer cubes to do internet research. Not to mention plenty of books and movies for checkout. Public libraries continue to be one of the best complimentary free services for the general public and this one is one of the better ones I've been too in the Houston area.

The building has three floors, each well-organized and offering a wide variety of books across different genres and subjects. There are also plenty of computers available, which is great for those who need access to tech or a quiet place to get work done. The library has a couple of reservable rooms, which come in handy for group work or private study sessions. I appreciate how spacious and functional the place is--there's rarely an issue finding a spot to sit or work. That said, it's not the coziest library. If you're looking for comfy chairs, soft lighting, or a warm atmosphere to curl up with a book, this might not be the vibe. But if you want a practical, well-stocked, and resource-rich space, it does the job well. They even have a 'little free library' that's only 1-4 min walk away from the parking lot. Def check it out!!

I actually needed a quiet place to study that was away from my home because my husband works from home so I picked this place. When you get to the gate, you have to call them and then they confirm that it's you they let you in and then there's a designated parking area which has a lot of spaces. They also check your ID once you walk into the library and then give you a sticker. After that you are good to go and study wherever you want. I even walked around the grounds for a little bit on my way out. It looks very English countryside, even though I've never been to the English countryside. I think this is what it would look like. Library is beautiful and clean and temperature is perfect. Everyone working there is extremely friendly and it's such a beautiful place.

Spacious and filled with many resources for community members, students, and library card holders. I've been to this location many times. During my most recent visit I stopped in to pick up my Summer Reading Color Our World prizes! I stopped by two information desks and eventually they informed me that I needed to go upstairs. Once I made it to that desk, the ladies were helpful. I'll be sure to take a picture of my rewards for the Grown Ups Reading Challenge. I received water bottles, sticky notes/flags/pens, drawstring bag, and pen pouches. Defintely worth stopping by and joining the reading challenge! If I'm in the area this is a library I'd return to.

There's plenty of seating inside. Computers were also available to use for up to four consecutive hours once I obtained a library card and number to sign in. If you need to charge your phones or electronic devices, there are plenty of outlets available. There's first come first serve study rooms for those that do require more concentration. For a person who loves reading books for learning and for pleasure, this place was great. I haven't combed through a physical book in a long time, since we have pdfs and Kindle apps on our iPhones. But, this library was refreshing. They even have manga books translated to English. Here, you can borrow any book from and return it to any fort bend county library in 21 days. That's awesome. In addition, they have study rooms here and computers for kids to play games on. On their website, FBC libraries also have book clubs you can attend or reserve new books that are released to borrow. Not sure how long it takes for anyone to actually get a new book, though. Plus, it's relatively quiet here, so I feel extremely productive when I'm here to do any sort of work. My regret is that I didn't find this spot sooner. They're even open on Saturdays if you need to work on some things. Logistics-wise, this library is actually located within the UH-SL campus. When you enter, the library is on your left side. Just follow the signs for library parking. Since I went during post-Hurricane Beryl, the gate lever was open to the parking lot. However, during normal business hours, you need to take a ticket before entering the lot and validate your parking ticket with the library staff before you leave the library parking lot. Overall, I will be coming back here again when I need some quiet time or work done.
