[edit] Public schools

There are many school districts serving the city of Houston, the largest of which, the Houston Independent School District, serves a large majority of the area within the city limits and the "island cities" of Bellaire, Southside Place, and West University Place.

A portion of west Houston falls under the Spring Branch and Alief independent school districts. Aldine and North Forest independent school districts take up a part of northeast Houston. Parts of Pasadena, Clear Creek, Galena Park, Katy, Fort Bend, Huffman, New Caney, Humble, Spring, and Cypress-Fairbanks independent school districts take students from the city limits of Houston.

[edit] Public libraries

The Houston Public Library has 36 branches throughout the city, plus the Central Library, located Downtown. The Harris County Public Library has 26 branches, mostly in areas outside the city limits of Houston.
