Parents: “What are we doing this week?” Kids: “I don’t know.” The library: “We have ideas.” 📚 Spring Break is a good time to stop by, find a book, and see what’s happening around the building. The best part is that it's FREE to visit and attend our programs!

Happy Pi Day to our math loving library family! March 14 is the one day of the year when knowing that Pi starts with 3.14 feels like a personality trait. If you’ve ever tried to memorize more digits than necessary or quietly corrected someone’s math, this one’s for you. We see you. 📚🥧

You might notice some landscaping happening outside Main Library. As part of the City of McAllen’s mcallenshines initiative, the outdoor mall area is getting some beautification to freshen up the space around the library. We’re excited to see these improvements take shape and appreciate your patience while the work is underway.

Happy Friday the 13th! If you’re feeling a little superstitious today, it might be the perfect time to pick up a spooky read. You can find books on apparitions and the paranormal in 133.1, and eerie folklore and legendary creatures in 398.2. And did you know local paranormal investigators once explored Main Library and detected activity in the 800s, right where the literature lives? We’re not saying there are ghosts in the library… but we’re also not saying there aren’t. 👻📚 Uy...cucuy!
