More About the Houston Public Library: The problem the Houston Public Library faces isn’t irrelevance. Library circulation, program attendance, and technology usage are increasing. The real problem is how library programs are keeping up with the demand. Your Houston Public Library is striving to provide equitable access to resources across the city. They bridge the technology gap, increase literacy, and connect you to lifelong learning. For being the fourth largest city in the U.S., Houston’s library system ranks seventh in the nation on per capita expenditures. We believe that Houstonians deserve better. Libraries are gathering places where people from different backgrounds, passions, and interests can engage with each other. They are the kinds of places where the public, private, and philanthropic partnerships work together to build a better society. You have the power to make your Houston Public Library the best in the nation.
