Harris County Public Library's Book Buddies is a FREE literacy program that pairs trained teen volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in K-3rd grade (Little Buddies) for 10 weeks to share the joy of reading. More information can be found on our website.

The next session for the Spring Branch-Memorial Branch Library will run from September 8th - November 17th, 2025. The Buddies will meet on Mondays from 4:30 PM to 5:15 PM. 

Pick up an application at the front desk of the Spring Branch-Memorial Branch Library!

Un hermoso ejemplo de la heterogeneidad de nuestra identidad se encuentra en el Istmo de Tehuantepec. Ahí, entre los valles de Oaxaca, la Sierra y las costas istmeñas, quedan sólidos vestigios del pueblo zapoteco. La técnica artesanal pasa de generación en generación, de familia en familia, enlazando la habilidad y la experiencia con el conocimiento ancestral de miles de mujeres zapotecas. Ninguna flor es igual a la otra, todas son únicas e irrepetibles como cada ser humano, así definen su arte las mujeres del Istmo de Tehuantepec.

Alebrijes are spirits that guide, accompany, and protect us throughout our lives. A vivid representative of Mexican and Oaxacan folk art that is traditionally carved from copal wood, painted with exquisite detail, and vibrant colors.

In this craft, we will make and decorate our own alebrijes out of paper! Use them as a bookmark! All ages are welcome. 

Materials provided: crayons, markers, stickers and construction paper.
