Editing Houston Public Library (section)

===Partnership libraries===
In addition, HPL has a partnership with the [[Harris County Public Library]]'s Clear Lake City-County Freeman Branch Library in the [[Clear Lake City, Houston, Texas|Clear Lake City]] community of Houston.

Also, the Parent Resource Library in the [[Children's Museum of Houston]] is considered part of the Houston Public Library system; however, its staff are employed by the museum, rather than the City of Houston.

In partnership with the Harris County Public Library, which will operate the branch, the Kingwood Branch in [[Kingwood, Houston, Texas|Kingwood]] is a "City-County" branch in exchange for $4.2 million to fund the building of a new {{convert|30000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} facility. At the time of its completion, the existing branch will be converted into a [[community center]].<ref>{{cite news
