This year, the Harris County Public Library Foundation's signature event, Booked for Lunch, focuses on expanding the Harris County Literacy Programs.  Across Harris County, 1 in 3 adults operates below a basic reading level, and nearly 2 in 5 schoolchildren cannot read proficiently. Harris County Public Library offers literacy programming across all age groups to improve reading outcomes and enhance opportunities for all Harris County residents. Please help achieve this goal by supporting the Foundation's luncheon.
