#TBT to the Old Main Library, which opened its doors 74 years ago on May 28, 1950. Dedicated as a tribute to honor McAllenites who served and died in WWII, the building began with the Children’s Department and grew over time to include a mezzanine and a third floor for administrative offices. Before our current home, this 34,000 sq. ft. space was where generations of readers discovered their love for books. Its legacy lives on in every page turned and story shared at McAllen Public Library today.
