ational Library Week (April 3-9 ) could not have arrived at a more vital time. Since 1958, libraries across America have been recognized for being essential connectors for our communities. These conglomerates are not only critical to knowledge and learning but have been instrumental in supplying public resources, from literacy and language courses to technology training and exposure.

In celebration of NLW, we've rounded up Houston's top neighborhood libraries; a sneak peek inside the MFAH's new art library, a list of Texas' banned books, our staff's favorite reads, and more.
