Everett Collier Regional Library | Harris County, TX

Spacious, well-lit, well-organized and welcoming, the librarians at the front desk impressed me as a first-time visitor to Collier. The children's section is a HUGE (& clean) play area, as is the Teen section. The travel/geography-themed shelves near the Passport Office were a nice touch. Surprisingly, I practiced self-restraint and didn't purchase any items from their Book Sale shelf, although they were hosting a generous "fill your (book) bag for $5" promotion. There just weren't any titles that stood out to me this time around except for The Clique, a remnant of my middle school reading habits, LOL. I loved the fact that they heavily promoted the Monthly Adult Book Club and even had copies available for checkout to all those who were interested. I only wish the book club didn't take place during the middle of the day OR that there was an option to join virtually. Nonetheless, this was an informative stop on my Houston Adventure Passport expedition :)

I really like this library. It's standard but lovely. I do wish however that the parents of the children (ages 5-8) would not allow them to treat it like a playground. RUNNING and literally playing hide and go seek between the shelves.

I have been coming to this library for many years, mainly to have my children participate in the summer reading program. The children’s librarian is AWESOME and always knew me coming in. This year was our first visit to the library this summer and I was hoping for the same positive energy and experience. The gentleman who checked us out was not very friendly (I guess I annoyed him when I kept placing books on the counter, but I didn’t realize his book scanner was there) and almost snatched the books out of my hand before I could sit them down instead of asking me not to put them there. Everyone has bad or off days, which is understandable. It’s important to be prepared and professional when interacting with the public.

Their passport services are amazing! Ana was super informative on passport services and was able to submit my son’s passport on time. Highly recommend.

You know what they say, don't judge a book by its cover. The exterior of the building is nothing to write home about, but the interior is beautiful! Especially the kids section. The staff is great and everything is well organized. Highly recommend.
