Background and Discussion: The County will operate the Katy Branch Library and provide a full range of library materials for the Library which are customarily provided in public library programs to the citizens of Harris County.

The County will fulfill other duties as outlined in the agreement. The City of Katy maintains the building, furniture, utilities and other duties as outlined in the agreement.
