Homeschool & Educator Resources
Harris County Public Library is committed to developing a lifelong love of reading and learning in all children.
Our Children's Librarians and staff have expert knowledge in children's literature, and they love connecting kids with stories that captivate their attention. Library staff can help you find library materials that can supplement and support your lesson plans, but they can also help teach you and your children where to find books on their favorite topics. Each branch is unique, so visit your local branch or give them a call to learn more about which services they can offer and recommend specifically for homeschool families!
