HPL Express Southwest Library | Harris County, TX

I will honestly say that I did not enjoy my time at this library. First of all, it's in the same building as a health services clinic/office which lots of people go to either apply or get services thus it's extremely loud with children and people talking. Second, it's a tiny library. Nice since it can be an intimate setting but it's usually crowded with kids and adults. The noise from the hall/large corridor makes it quite difficult to concentrate on anything. I mean just to go for quick computer access and printing then yeah its perfectly fine but other than that, to study... Nope, sorry, I suggest going elsewhere. Also, side note: I don't understand why HPL still use freaking print cards! It's an outdated and redundant way of doing things. I mean Fort Bend County has an integrated printing account with each user and makes it easy to print and add credit to the account. No need to keep up with a print card and having to purchase one especially when you probably won't ever use it again and or might lose it. People already have to keep up with a library card. I mean, come on! Upgrade!

I visit this library often, and it’s always a great experience. The staff are genuinely good people—friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything I need. Whether it’s finding a book, using the computer, or just needing a quiet space, they make the visit easy and pleasant. The environment is peaceful and perfect for studying, which is mainly why I go there.

They should have more hours, open up early n stay open late. ***I love that they don't let the kids in till after school hours. Computers are slow, staff is not friendly. It use to stink, it was hard to stay in there. Don't feel like it's clean. Not a ride book selection. I only go there to use the computer when I can't get to done place else. N I love the library normally would spend hours in there. Don't like the feeling in there.

My first time at this Library was a few weeks ago and Makaelyn assisted me with everything! She helped me on getting Library cards for my kids, showing us around, and giving us information on future Library events. Today, I went back to return our books and needless to say Makaelyn was there, I felt soo welcomed!! My 5-star rating is because of her, other employees should take notes.
