With the establishment of the Houston Lyceum in 1854, the groundwork was laid by the founders of Houston for what would eventually become the Houston Public Library 50 years later.
The 1854 Legacy Giving Circle recognizes and honors those who lay similar foundations for the future of the Houston Public Library through a planned gift and estate plans through a charitable bequest, beneficiary designation, gifts through retirement accounts, and other legacy gifts.
To learn more about establishing a planned gift, please contact Nick Sawicki, executive director of the Houston Public Library Foundation, via email at nsawicki@houstonlibraryfoundation.org
