About Katherine Tyra Branch Library
Bear Creek Library opened to the public in May 1983. It served the Bear Creek community in west Houston for 9 years before a tornado damaged the building in 1992 and forced a temporary closure. The library was renovated and reopened the following year. The branch was renamed the Katherine Tyra Library in 1999 to honor Katherine Tyra who served as Harris County District Clerk from 1991-1995.
In August 2017, overfill from the Addicks Reservoir during Hurricane Harvey flooded the branch with almost 10 inches of water. The Katherine Tyra @ Bear Creek Library was forced to close again. After a massive restoration effort, the library reopened to the public on April 30, 2018.
