*George B. Meyer Neighborhood Library ([[Meyerland, Houston, Texas|Meyerland]]/[[Westbury, Houston, Texas|Westbury]]) - The library opened in 1962. In 1994 the library received renovations to accommodate disabled people. By 2013 HPL planned to purchase land for a new Meyerland branch with $442,000. HPL spokesperson Sandra Fernandez stated that HPL wants to build a new facility in order to increase the size and parking capacity. There is a proposal to move the library to [[Westbury Square]] in [[Westbury, Houston|Westbury]], supported by the Westbury community but opposed by Meyerland residents.<ref>Peyton, Lindsay.

Hurricane Harvey gave the library moderate damage, and the city government closed it afterwards, with demolition scheduled. The new library, which will also replace HPL Express Frank, will be at 5505 Belrose on a {{convert|2.5|acre|ha|adj=on}} plot of land in Westbury.<ref name="Ward, Alyson"/>
