Houston Public Library is a place to learn and to have a lot of fun. You can do both by taking part in the B.Y.O.L. (Bring Your Own Lunch) series of fun activities on your lunch hour.
All programs are at the Central Library from 12 - 1 PM, with the exception of the Tuesday Gaming & More Series, which runs from 12 - 2 PM, and the Wednesday Film Series, which starts at 12 NOON and runs the length of the film.
