ROSENBERG LIBRARY

Originally the successor to the Galveston Mercantile Library, founded in 1871, the Rosenberg Library is the oldest public library in Texas in continuous operation. With funding provided through a bequest from Henry Rosenberg, the Rosenberg Library Association was formed pursuant to a charter granted by the State of Texas on July 10, 1900. This allowed them to operate and provide free library services to all Galvestonians. Since its incorporation, the institution has been governed by a board of twenty trustees, who meet annually to elect a nine-member board of directors... Around the library visitors will find the popular Children's library, two computer labs, a makerspace with a 3D Printer, the Galveston & Texas History Center, art and history exhibits, and much more. The Library offers free community events every month and provides space for non-profits through the library's dedicated meeting rooms. The Rosenberg Library also offers a vast e-library, completely free for cardholders.
