The Local History Department at the La Retama Central Library contains materials and services in three areas: local history, Texas History, and genealogy. Materials in this collection must be used in the library. Assistance is available to persons involved in detailed research into the history of the city and to the budding genealogist alike. Local History services vary from regular La Retama Central Library hours and also includes reference assistance in person and by telephone.

The Children's Department at all area branches contain materials for children of all ages.  For information on special events and other services, contact the public library near you or view the News & Events section of the La Retama Central Library.

Interlibrary Loan Services are also available to patrons. If materials such as a book or magazine article cannot be located, the Interlibrary Loan division of the South Texas Library System may be able to borrow it from another library. Contact any public library for details.
