Gone are the yesteryears when the library was for books only. Today, you can find many resources at your local library. Here are some of the things to enjoy at the library just a short drive from our apartments in Katy.
Books, Movies, and Music
The Katy Branch Library offers access to many books in traditional paper book format and an extensive selection of e-books and eAudiobooks with Overdrive and Libby, including many titles in Spanish. Freegal music makes millions of songs accessible to you as well.
Genealogy Research
Your library card gives you access to Family Search and Ancestry's almost limitless records database. There, you can look for all those little hints, solve family puzzles, and discover the mystery of your family history. You are sure to find great information on your heritage going back for many generations.
Clubs, Clubs, and More Clubs
For many who love to read and discuss their books, there are plenty of book clubs available at the library. There is even a Spanish/ESL book club to practice reading and conversation skills. If you love your tea or coffee as much as you love reading books, grab your favorite and head over to Book & Bite Club or join a lively book discussion at the Pages by the Pint Book Club. The Gardening Club is a must for avid gardeners who are passionate about gardening and wish to share their knowledge with others or newbies who are just starting to develop their green thumb. There are also visiting speakers, field trips, and seed exchanges to help you grow your knowledge. Knotty & Nice Club gathers all the knitters who are happy to share, learn, and hang out with other knitters.
Maker Central
At Maker Central, it is a crafters' and makers' paradise. There you can use many of the latest and greatest tools you wouldn't otherwise have access to. There are machines for laser cutting and etching, vinyl cutting and mill machines, 3D printing, and Cricut machines. Get in touch with the library to check if you have to register to ensure your spot and pay any fees associated with machine use.
After spending an afternoon at the Katy Branch Library perusing all the books or enjoying activities, stop by one of the local bakeries for a delicious sweet treat.
