SAN ANTONIO – The Las Palmas branch library reopened on Monday following a $7 million renovation project, according to the San Antonio Public Library.
The renovation was funded by the City of San Antonio’s 2017 and 2022 Bond programs, as well as through the San Antonio Public Library Foundation.
The project’s website includes a presentation from February 2024 that outlined the renovations taking place.
Improvements included renovations to the children’s and teen areas, a learn center, complete bathroom renovations, a roof replacement and an expansion of nearly 2,000 square feet.
“We heard that physical books were really important,” San Antonio Public Library marketing manager Scott Williams told KSAT. “We heard that access to computers was a critical need in the community, and so those are two things that you’ll see reflected in the newly renovated Las Palmas.”
The library closed its doors due to renovations in March 2023.
The library will hold a free, family-friendly grand reopening celebration at 10 a.m. on Dec. 6.
