Palacios Library in Palacios, Matagorda County, United States | Library

Welcome to The Palacios Library, United States. The Palacios Library achieved the status of tax-exempt and became a non-profit organization in 1964. Plans were being made for a new Library building.
Monday through to Friday during the school year from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Palacios Library staff, volunteers, and four High School Honor Students help students with homework. Students also have access to computers for typing papers, PowerPoint program for presentations and Internet for research. After homework is completed each student is allowed time on the computer to play educational games or browse the Internet.
The Palacios Library strives to provide material that meets the day-to-day educational, informational, cultural, and recreational interests and needs of the community. The Library endeavors to purchase materials which are of permanent and current value, and represent the best available to meet the community's needs.
The Palacios Library participates in the national interLibrary loan program that permits the Library to borrow material for its patrons from other libraries. This interLibrary loan service is available to all patrons whose record is clear of fines and overdue items. Books and photocopies of articles from periodicals not owned by the Palacios Library, Inc., or that are otherwise unavailable, may be requested for loan through interLibrary loan. Recordings, microfilm and genealogy materials may be requested but are often difficult to obtain.
The Palacios Library does not charge for interLibrary loan service; however the patron is responsible to pay for postage to return back to lending Library, and any charges or fines imposed by the lending Library. Every attempt will be made to borrow items from libraries that do not charge fees for loaning materials. If a patron does not wish to borrow an item if charges are imposed (such as postage, insurance fees, lending fees, photocopying charges), this must be stipulated when the request is made. Fines for overdue materials and processing costs for lost items will vary with the lending Library and are the responsibility of the patron.
