South Houston is served by the South Houston Branch of [[Harris County Public Library]] at 607 Avenue A. The first South Houston library opened in 1927. In 1937 money was raised to build a structure to house the library; this structure stands in a park next to the current library. In the 1950s the library moved into a building with a welfare office and a clinic. In 1967 the city purchased land and a barracks building from [[Ellington Field]]; the city then moved the library there, where it remained until 1991. The current {{convert|5800|sqft|sqm}} branch opened in May 1991.<ref>"[http://www.hcpl.net/branchinfo/sho/shoinfo.htm South Houston Branch Library]." ''[[Harris County Public Library]]''.
