History:

The Dr. Clotilde P. Garcia Library is a vibrant and active community space. The 13,233 square-foot building houses a collection of over 50,000 items including books, audiobooks, DVDs, Blu-Rays, magazines, and even cake pans.

This library received its namesake from a physician, community advocate, founder of the local Spanish American Genealogical Association, and long-time resident Dr. Clotilde P. Garcia.

It is one of the newest libraries in the Corpus Christi Public Libraries system. Since opening its door in 2009, this branch has become a vibrant center of activity for residents and visitors in and around the Southside area.
