The Foundation

Government funding covers only a portion of the Houston Public Library's operating expenses. Your tax-deductible gift empowers us to fund vital programs and services, keeping them FREE for all Houstonians. Your support is essential to our mission at the Foundation, advocating and fundraising for Houston's library system. Join us to build a strong foundation of knowledge and cultural awareness. Thank you for making a difference!
