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!

Books Between Kids was created with one simple ide Books Between Kids was created with one simple idea in mind: kids experience something extraordinary when they get to give the gift of books to other kids. What began as a small effort between families has grown into a citywide movement rooted in community.

Every gift made this #GivingTuesday helps us place more stories into the hands of Houston children. Click the link in our bio to create book owners, ignite imaginations, and strengthen our entire community.
