McAllen Public Library, Public library in McAllen, Texas.
The McAllen Public Library spans 124,500 square feet across a transformed former Walmart building, featuring dedicated zones for children, adults, and community gatherings.
The 2012 renovation project converted a retail space into the largest single-story public library in the United States, marking a shift in urban infrastructure development.
The library system provides educational programs, computer access, and multilingual resources to serve the diverse population of McAllen and surrounding communities.
Visitors can access three locations including the main facility at 4001 N. 23rd Street, the Lark Branch, and Palm View Branch throughout McAllen.
The interior design incorporates a central wood-ceiling corridor and color-coded sections to help users navigate the expansive former retail space.
