[HOUSTON, TX. MAY 26, 2026] - Harris County Public Library strives to offer as many valuable resources as possible, but as subscription prices continue to rise, the library has had to make some tough decisions to ensure we do our best with the taxpayer funds entrusted to us.
Read the Books provided area school district reading lists as well as some specialized searches within the library catalog. After access to this resource ends on 5/31/2026, reading lists can still be found by contacting local area schools. For help with finding great book recommendations we recommend reaching out to staff at your local branch or using Book Hunters, our reader’s advisory service. Additional resources available for youth literacy and reader recommendations are Gale Presents: Miss Humblebee’s Academy, Novelist K-8 Plus and Tumblebooks.
Morningstar Investing Center is one of our two resources that provided help with personal investments. After access to this resource ends on 5/31/2026, we will continue to offer access to Value Line as well as other resources such as Wall Street Journal and The Economist (through Pressreader).
We appreciate our community’s understanding as we work to steward public resources responsibly while continuing to provide a wide range of materials and services for all.
