        More Info

        General Info
        In 1928, the City of Texas City allocated a room in the newly built City Hall for a public library. The Texas City Civic Club operated the library in this space until 1948. The City hall building was damaged in the 1947 explosion and later demolished. The library was relocated to a former house at 5th Street and 9th Ave N. At this time, the library was renamed the Moore Memorial Public Library in honor of Hugh Benton Moore and Helen Moore. In 1964, the library moved into its present facilities, built especially for the library. In 1986, the building was expanded to its present size of 21, 000 square feet. The Moore Memorial Public Library provides services free of charge to all Texas residents. Visitors from other states and nations are welcome to use library services as well, but may not checkout library materials.

        Overall

        I visit a lot of Libraries in the South East Houston and Baytown, but this is my first time to visit this library and it will hopefully be the last.

        The electric outlets are tapped off and only a couple of outlets are opened which you are only allowed to charge your device for one hour maximum. You have to watch your device as it charges and the librarian will promptly remind you that your time is up. Unlike the other local libraries who go out of their way to accommodate patrons; this place goes out of its way to alienate patrons. It is the most unfriendly library atmosphere that I have experienced in the Houston and surounding areas. It is a shame, because it is loaded with wonderful resources and it is technologically up to date. However, the atmosphere is very unpleasant!
