The San Antonio Central Library (also known as the "red enchilada") is a modern addition to this old town. It was completed in 1995, at which time there was much controversy over the building color. With vibrant purple and yellow accenting its red exterior, the new library is hard to miss and looks fantastic. Within its walls lie a six-story atrium, a genealogy collection, an art gallery and a terrace for special events. And as this is a library, you will of course also find a plethora of books, as well as an excellent children's library and a wonderful media center.
Named in honor of renowned Texan politician, columnist and lawyer, Maury Maverick Library opened its doors in 2006. It has a wide variety of published documents in the form of books, magazines, DVDs, CDs and newspapers. There is also Spanish literature available. Events for teens, toddlers, families and poetry keep this place buzzing.
