HOUSTON — Turn the Page, KHOU 11's literacy initiative as your Education Station, continues through April 14.
Our goal is to raise funds for children's books to enrich the lives of local kids through the gift of reading. You can help us achieve our goal by donating here or by dropping off new or gently used children's books at Houston public libraries, local YMCAs or Blue Willow Bookshop by April 14.
