History
Located in Historic Katy, this library was one of the earliest in Harris County. It was started by the Katy Garden Club in private homes in 1921. It later shared space in a grocery and furniture store and then took over the old Katy Fire Department building on 2nd Avenue. When first opened the library only offered 12 hours of service per week. Construction began on the current Franz Road location in 2002. The grand opening was on Sunday, April 27, 2003.
Meet the Manager
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Boggs, Branch Manager at the Katy Branch Library. I love to read a little bit of everything! I especially enjoy graphic novels and historical fiction. At Katy, we enjoy providing the customer service of a small town community with all the benefits that a large library system offers. There is a lot going on at the library. We hope to see you soon. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at
