Q: Can you have club meetings in the library?
Q: How long can I keep the books I borrow from the library?
Answer: Read about our Book Check-Out Policy below
Students may check out up to five (5) books at a time.
Books are checked out for two weeks, and students may renew for more time, if necessary. (This includes eBooks and audiobooks.)
There are no late fees, but lost or stolen items must be paid for.
Magazines and reference materials are for in-library use only.
When browsing for books, please do not place books back on shelf, leave on top of shelf and staff will return books to its original place for you.
Q: Can HISD students check out books from the Houston Public Library?
Answer: YES, HISD has a partnership with the Houston Public Library.
Students have 24/7 access to pre-approved, age-appropriate, online HPL materials which they can access through the HUB.
Use your HISD student id to check out books and resources at any of HPL’s 43 library locations.
