District K Library Update
Last week we met with Houston Public Library Director, Rhea Lawson and her team to discuss the status of the newest District K library that will be located at 5505 Belrose St. in Westbury.
As the plans progress the District K office will host a community meeting for all District K residents to discuss the programming we’d like to see at the library.
We are looking forward to a more robust facility than the current Meyer Library and Frank HPL Express for residents to enjoy. Library doors are a gateway to anywhere!
