Janet F. Harte Public Library

Mission

The Corpus Christi Public Libraries share books and other materials with people of all ages and backgrounds in a way that will make library patrons of most and book lovers of many. We furnish popular materials for leisure and study; we provide reference and information to the fact seeker; and we introduce the young to the wonderful world of books. Our helpful, informed staff provides books, answers questions, and presents programs in welcoming surroundings. In a world of credit cards, the library card is free to any resident of the city of Corpus Christi and interest is measured only in lifelong learning and enjoyment.
