The Jacinto City Branch Library was built in 1992. The building, the A.J. "Bert" Holder Library, is a replacement for the original branch, which still stands on Mercury Drive in Jacinto City. The Library is named after former Jacinto City Mayor Bert Holder (1925- 1991), His picture hangs in the library as a gift from the Holder family.
Jacinto City Branch is a cooperative effort between the City of Jacinto City and Harris County. The city built and maintains the facility, while the county furnishes staff and materials. This cooperative agreement has been in force since 1957, when a local resident, Mrs. Dorothy Bowyer, spearheaded the effort to obtain a library for Jacinto City. Mrs. Bowyer also served as the Branch Librarian from 1958 – 1989, when she retired.
Hello! My name is Nyla Vela (she/they), and I am the branch manager of the Jacinto City Branch Library. I have worked at libraries in both Indiana and Texas where I have fostered a deep love and passion for librarianship. I truly believe that libraries can be mitigators of social disparities through equitable programming and inclusivity within our doors. My goal as a manager is to continue to foster a bustling community here at the Jacinto City Branch Library and provide resources that fulfill the unique needs of its residents. In my free time, I enjoy being outside, watching anime, playing guitar, and reading. If you have a question or comment, please feel free to
