===Public libraries===
The Speer Memorial Library serves Mission.<ref>"[http://www.mission.lib.tx.us/ Welcome to the Speer Memorial Library]." City of Mission. Retrieved on May 9, 2010.</ref> The facility has {{convert|48760|sqft|sqm}} of space.<ref name="Aboutlibrary">"[http://www.mission.lib.tx.us/about.htm About the Library]." Speer Memorial Library. Retrieved on May 9, 2010.</ref>

The library originated in March 1914, when the Civic League of Mission was formed to maintain a park and form a library. The first library board included officers from the civic league. In 1929, the city of Mission passed an ordinance making the library a part of the city government. In 1930, the library was in a room in the First National Bank. Later, it moved to the Mission City Hall. From the early 1930s until 1947, the city library shared facilities with the school library. By 1960, it outgrew the building it had occupied. In 1976, Juanita Speer Farley donated the deed to her property to the city. A new library, designed by Warren Suter, an architect from Mission, was constructed in 1976 and 1977. The official completion date of the {{convert|14000|sqft|sqm}} library was June 1, 1977. An addition in 1988 increased the library's area to {{convert|18660|sqft|sqm}}. An additional expansion of {{convert|30100|sqft|sqm}}, designed by architect TAG International, LLP, and constructed by Velasco Construction, was scheduled to be completed in March 2005, and the renovation of the older portions of the library was scheduled to begin afterwards.<ref name="Aboutlibrary"/>
