Dear friends:
I am excited to share something that is close to my heart with you today.
On this #GivingTuesday, I invite you to join me in supporting Houston Public Library (HPL), one of the largest and most dynamic library systems in the United States. HPL reflects the vibrant diversity and rich cultural heritage of our city.
Houston Public Library is a public treasure that belongs to all of us. Each year, millions of Houstonians walk through our branches, TECHLink centers, and History Research Centers while millions more take advantage of our digital platforms.
YOUR support makes possible so many opportunities to enrich our community. Here are just a few examples:
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
Research shows that children who are exposed to reading early are better prepared for academic success. HPL is committed to helping children and their families with the resources needed to succeed.
Camp STREAM
Every summer, HPL hosts a technology-driven camp for hundreds of middle and high school students where they learn about coding, digital design, and engineering.
Business Resources
Whether starting a business or launching a new career, HPL provides the resources to help individuals be successful and contribute to the local community.
Thanks to YOUR generosity, HPL fosters a lifelong love of reading and learning, by strengthening communities and bringing people together.
You can make a difference by giving a gift today.
Thank you for supporting Houston Public Library. I hope to see you at one of our locations or events.
Sincerely,
Sandy Gaw
Director, Houston Public Library
