HISTORY
"The City of San Antonio Library system will partner with Reagan High
School's library to make this a prized facility used by Reagan students and
staff as well as the community!"
An unprecedented cooperative venture between a school district and the City
of San Antonio swung into full operation Sunday, October 10, at 12:45 p.m. The
Library of Ronald Reagan High School jointly operated by the North East
Independent School District and the City of San Antonio Public Library
Department, was opened by officials from both entities. After the ribbon-cutting
ceremony there was an open house until 6:00 p.m. The public joined the opening
festivities, and borrowed books from the public library collection.
The joint School District - City pilot project was first proposed by former
District 9 Councilman Tim Bannwolf, who saw it as an opportunity to provide
library services to a previously under-served area while saving operating costs.
"By housing a public
library in a school library facility, taxpayers save more than three million
dollars," said
Bannwolf. "The library
opening means that the 30,000 residents of this area now have convenient access
to services in their own neighborhood."
Bannwolf added that, until the opening of the Reagan High School Library,
residents in its vicinity would have had to travel 8 miles to the Brook Hollow
Branch Library or 12 miles to the Ed Cody Branch Library.
