Harris County Public Library provides all the resources and services you expect from a traditional public library, as well as ones you might not expect, like maker labs with 3D printers and laser cutters, a gardening tool lending library, and our super library on wheels--the Curiosity Cruiser. If you still think of HCPL as just a place to check out books and make copies, you really owe it to yourself to get to know us better.
