Laredo Public Library

Our librarians are happy to assist with e-resources, databases and genealogy/research requests. Our librarians cannot provide medical, financial, or legal assistance. Our librarians will provide resources and referrals for assistance regarding immigration and other legal forms.

For in-depth research requests librarians can charge $50 per hour and $20 for additional hours for in-depth research requests.

Due to staff time, staff cannot discuss individual titles with authors nor will notify authors if materials have been added to the collection.
Authors may only submit two book submissions per year.
Unsolicited donations mailed to the Library will become property of the Library and may be used as the Library deems appropriate.
Any works not selected for the collection will not be returned to the author.

The Laredo Public Library will aim to keep donated books in the collection for a minimum of five (5) years. After five (5) years, the book may be removed due to make space for newer materials, low circulation. and/or condition.

As with all donations, all donated materials become the property of the City of Laredo. The Library has full authority over any gift after its acceptance.
