About the library

The Palm View Branch Library opened for business on January 18, 2001, after four years of planning and development. In May 1997 McAllen citizens elected to implement a half-cent sales tax for economic development, which by the fall of 1999 included the construction of two branch libraries in the north and south areas of McAllen.

Located in south McAllen, the Palm View Branch Library strives to meet the needs of its diverse patrons by offering an ever-growing Spanish language and bilingual collection, as well as a general collection of fiction, nonfiction, and media, and a variety of programs that promote literacy to youth in the community.
