Review:
Successor to the Galveston Mercantile Library, which was founded in 1871, Rosenberg Library is the oldest continuously operating public library in Texas. The main building was dedicated in 1904, and the Moody Memorial Wing was added in 1971, doubling the floor space and allowing for the addition of a history center, a children's library, several galleries that house museum collections, and recently, a computer lab.
The Galveston and Texas History Center collection contains materials about early Texas and Galveston; Major Manuscript collections has, among other documents, the papers of Samuel May Williams, Gail Borden, John Grant Tod, Jr., and James Morgan. The Twentieth-Century collections cover modern activities and events in Galveston and on the Gulf Coast.
