CLOSING

Cinco Ranch Branch Library will be CLOSED for several weeks starting Mon, Jan 12, because we are replacing carpet throughout the building. The outdoor book drop will remain OPEN during the time the building is closed, and library items may be returned at Cinco Ranch Branch. 

All items that were requested to be held at Cinco Ranch Branch should be picked up at Fulshear Branch library. If another location is more convenient for you, please contact Fulshear Branch to reroute the items to your preferred location.

Library Supplier Update

Library Supplier Update Baker and Taylor

December 2025

Baker & Taylor (B&T) - one of the largest distributors of books - announced that it will be ceasing operations. B&T was the primary book supplier for Fort Bend County Libraries (FBCL), and they have played a vital role in helping FBCL get popular authors and titles quickly. Unlike many other vendors – such as Amazon – B&T provided additional services that were designed specifically to support the needs of public libraries.

FBCL is actively working with other book vendors to have our supply of new materials to normal levels. We are prioritizing high-demand titles and items with existing holds to minimize disruptions for our patrons.

While we have been experiencing some delays and disruptions in receiving new materials, we're working closely with our vendors and County Purchasing to get everything back on track. You can expect to see an influx of new popular authors/titles being received over the next few weeks.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate through this major transition in our materials acquisition process.
