Membership is an important part of how the Friends supports the Library.  Beyond being a significant part of our financial support for the Library, a strong membership gives us a strong voice when we speak up on matters that affect Houston’s Library.  Together we will be able to ensure that this major educational and cultural institution can continue to offer the very best service to our community.

A Big Perk, Members’ Preview Sale
Perhaps the biggest benefit we can give to our members is an early shot at the Annual Book Sale.  The Friday night of the sale is always the Members’ Preview Sale where we welcome members only to shop and buy as many books as you can.  Members at the Patron level and above will receive additional passes for friends, family and colleagues.
Each individual member receives a singles pass.  Children and teens age 17 and under are admitted free.

Important Membership Details
Adult individual memberships are $20. 
 
Membership for Friends age 17 and under is free.
 
The membership year is January 1 through December 31.
 

The Friends of the Houston Public Library is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization.  Under IRS guidelines, the estimated value of benefits received is not substantial; therefore, the full amount of your payment is a deductible contribution.
