Houston Public Library Foundation

The Houston Public Library Foundation unites partners who value lifelong learning.

More than access to free books, the library offers access to the culture of our community. Libraries are essential to building strong neighborhoods and provides a gathering place for people of diverse backgrounds. As a physical representation of our social structure, the library is a place for the youth, the elderly, the affluent and the under privileged. Consider the library as the “living room” of our neighborhoods where all are freely welcomed. Libraries and library programs are vital to improving the quality of our communities. The Houston Public Library provides programs that spans a wide range of interest and passions. Educational classes, summer camps, book clubs and social events offer the public with an opportunity to be with and learn from one another. Our libraries are the foundation of a civil society. The Houston Library Foundation matches donors with programs, solutions and opportunities that the Houston Public Library offers. Through these collaborative efforts, we are able to expand the services of resources and programs in Houston.
