Castroville Public Library to Host ‘Love Your Library’ Open House and Silent Auction on February 13
Residents of Castroville who value strong schools, accessible resources, and community gathering spaces will have a meaningful opportunity to give back this month. The Castroville Public Library is hosting its “Love Your Library” Open House on Friday, February 13, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., bringing neighbors together to celebrate the role the library plays in everyday life across Medina County.
The event, organized by the Friends of the Castroville Public Library, is more than a reception. It is a reminder of how local libraries continue to shape lives — from early childhood literacy programs to research resources for students and small business owners.
An Evening to Celebrate and Support Castroville’s Library
The open house will take place at the Castroville Public Library, located at 802 London Street, Castroville, TX 78009. Guests can expect a welcoming evening that includes a silent auction, entertainment, and refreshments, all designed to highlight the impact of the public library on the community.
For residents who may not be able to attend the evening reception, organizers have made participation flexible. The silent auction will remain open all day, giving supporters additional opportunities to contribute.
Events like this serve as both celebration and fundraiser — helping sustain programming, expand resources, and preserve the legacy of one of Castroville’s most important civic institutions.
Why This Matters to Castroville Families
