The Eagle Pass Public Library is a Department of the City of Eagle Pass that serves to the city and Maverick County community.
In the book “Fort Duncan: Frontier outpost on the Rio Grande”, you can find the reference to May 1, 1875 from Steinmetz Report about the first library in Eagle Pass and had 170 volumes in its collection.

Otherwise and according with the Eagle Pass News Guide published on February 27, 1997, at 1927 a group of women, who were studying art, music, literature, decided Eagle Pass should have a public library. On April 15, 1939, with the help of WPA labor, Maverick County erected a small  building on Quarry St., housing 7,000 books. From 1939 to 1965 the Library was an Associated Library, supported by City and County grants plus regular dues paid by the Association members. The City of Eagle Pass passed Ordinance 65-6 dated March 3, 1965 officially making the library a department of the City, to obtain the old Post Office building from the Federal Government, in addition, was stipulated the building would have to be properly used as a public library for at least 20 years requiring yearly reports to verify the use. If the library had not been maintained according to these requirements, it would have reverted to the U.S. Government.

In 1995 the Library Foundation of Eagle Pass Incorporated to renovate the Commanding Officers’ Headquarters building in Fort Duncan Park to make it available for the transfer of the children’s department. This new housing will better serve our community’s children and is accessible to the physically handicapped.  
Due the increase of the books collection and services, since 1999 the place for children was moved to historic site known as “Fort Duncan Park”.
