The saying “good things come in small packages” is cliché. But in the case of the Marathon Public Library, it’s true.
At 723 square feet, the library is the smallest one in Texas. But it’s turned into a hugely important resource for members of the small, Far West Texas community.

“Small rural libraries in general play a critical role in their community,” said Erin Stovall, president of the library’s board of directors. “Since we’re such a small community, we can really provide custom services and programs that our community members need.”
