Welcome to the new Houston Public Library Web site. This site was redesigned with you in mind, to improve accessibility and usability. Design elements have been added to every page to enhance access to Library information for people with disabilities.
New features on the Web site include a Spanish section, providing information on services and programs for Spanish-speaking customers. Looking to support the Library? Donate or Volunteer opportunities are now just a click away. Want to learn how to use the new Web site? Check out our tutorials on how to access downloadable audiobooks, how to get help with your questions and how to place a hold on a book. Now one combined search box will let you find items in our catalog, databases and on the Internet.
Updated Kids and Teens sections provide a gateway of information for young readers. The News & Featured Events section gives information on activities, events and news at your library. The Research and Services sections offer more options on finding what you need at your branch library, from the catalog or from electronic resources.
These are just some of the improvements to give you easier access to the vast resources available at the Houston Public Library. For a complete list of pages, sections and services available through the new Library Web site, visit the Site Map.
