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.

About us:
The Parkdale Branch Library is the busiest branch of the Corpus Christi Public Library System and serves a population of over 109,000 on the city's growing Southside.
