Friends of Corpus Christi Public Libraries We are proud supporters of the Corpus Christi Public Libraries

Established over 40 years ago, the Friends of the Corpus Christi Public Libraries raises funds for books and special programs. Programs such as the Summer Reading Club and other special events for children scheduled throughout the year rely on Friends support. Friends also volunteer for library projects, support library causes, promote public awareness of the library and promote community involvement in library activities.

So excited to get started! Have you signed up for adult Summer Reading yet?
