I love this library and the people were are so friendly when it comes to helping me locate a book or when I have questions. I also love how I can "check out" seeds for my garden. It can be a little noisy when the children and parents are around, but it is not that bad compared to the other libraries.
Great library!! Fot babies and toddlers, there are often activities during the week. Good place to spend 1 or 2 hours with the Littles.
Looscan has been a great neighborhood library for a long time. During the major hurricanes that hit Houston and knocked out power for weeks way back when Looscan Library opened up and provided much valued internet service and cool AC for sweltering, disconnected residents. They also have tax papers that can be picked up to file taxes, and the staff has proven very helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. Plus the facilities to read and relax are very good. So I hope Looscan and its friendly, knowledgeable staff can stay open for a long time to come!
It is clean and patrons are civil The staff is ok It is set up great and parking is good. They have a area by the front that is well set for someone using their own electronics
Why it matters
Go with a question.
Places like this are more than coordinates. They are where ideas become decisions, where communities keep memory, and where the words in a textbook become a room you can stand inside.
