Looscan Neighborhood Library | Harris County, TX

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!

I’m thoroughly impressed with the service at River Oaks Library. I had reserved a private room but needed to switch when the next guest arrived. Librarian Robert went above and beyond to ensure I was accommodated. He quickly found me another room, checked on my comfort, and even considered how to keep the space warm for me. He later tried to arrange for me to return to my original room once it was available, and although that didn’t work out, he made sure I was fully taken care of. His effort and attentiveness showed a genuine commitment to service. I truly appreciate the care he put into making sure my experience was a positive one.
