Families are invited to participate in Screen-Free Week May 2nd through 8th with special activities at the University Branch Library, located at 14010 University Boulevard in Sugar Land on the University of Houston campus. Families with children of all ages can unplug from digital entertainment and spend time playing, reading, daydreaming, creating, exploring and connecting with family and friends.

On Wednesday, May 4th at 6 pm, the library will have a “Craft Craze” with activities for all ages.
