Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $370,011 contract renewal with BiblioCommons Corp to keep our public library's digital services running from May 2026 to May 2027. This contract covers the integrated website, discovery tools, content management, and online catalog that millions of Harris County residents use to find books, reserve materials, and access digital resources. Our library system serves 34 branch locations across Harris County, from downtown Houston to suburban communities like Katy, Tomball, and Humble. This digital platform lets you search the entire library collection from home, place holds on books, renew materials, and discover new titles based on your interests. It also powers the library's website where you can register for programs, book meeting rooms, and access online databases for research. For families, this means easier access to children's programs and homework help resources. Students can research school projects using professional databases. Job seekers can access career resources and computer training materials. Seniors can find large-print books and audiobooks. The contract ensures these essential digital services continue without interruption. To use these services, visit your local Harris County Public Library branch or go online to get your free library card. Contact your local branch or the main administration for more information about available programs and resources.
