Harris County (Harris County Public Library)

The Harris County Public Library has 27 branches and offers strong and distinctive programs for their service population of 2.5 million. The library invested heavily in connectivity during the pandemic by administering $30 million in FCC funding and addressing basic skills to help patrons navigate the internet. They worked with an array of partners to expand library card access and to secure it as a form of verified photo identification, which has been a lifeline for their large migrant and immigrant communities.
