Friends Books

The Friends have created a donations room at their warehouse that is open to teachers, day cares, and other similar groups. If you know of any organization that could use some good, gently used books, please have them contact the Friends of the Library.

Friends can be reached by phone: 832-393-1387 or email: info@friendsofhpl.org

The Friends warehouse is located in the Chase Bank Building on the corner of Bingle and Little York. They will accept donations Saturday mornings (9am-1pm) but people should call before coming with their books: 713-849-9330.
