===Public libraries===
Katy is served by the Katy Branch of [[Harris County Public Library]] (HCPL) at 5414 Franz Road. The branch is a partnership between HCPL and the City of Katy. The city joined the county library system in 1921. The Katy Garden Club started the first library, which was housed in several private houses. At a later point it shared space with the Katy Fire Department. The first Katy branch opened in 1940. The Friends of the Katy Library began in 1972. The construction of the current {{convert|15000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} branch began in 2002. The current branch building opened for regular business in Monday April 28, 2003, with its grand opening ceremony on the previous day.<ref>"[http://www.hcpl.net/branchinfo/kt/ktinfo.htm Katy Branch Library] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517211441/http://www.hcpl.net/branchinfo/kt/ktinfo.htm |date=May 17, 2008}}."
