KHOU 11 Turn The Page - A Literacy Initiative

Thanks to a community-wide effort more than 30,000 books were collected during the KHOU11 Turn the Page Campaign in April 2025. KHOU 11 has partnered with Books Between Kids for 9 consecutive years! The incredible generosity of the Houston community—through book drives, donated books, and financial gifts during the KHOU 11 telethon—empowers Books Between Kids to reach children who lack easy access to books, helping to boost literacy and spark a lifelong love of reading!

Thank you, KHOU, for your unwavering support!
