New service hours for 3-1-1, libraries and
Spanish Governor's Palace
Starting in October three City entities will have new service hours.
The Spanish Governor's Palace, 3-1-1 and the San Antonio library
system have new schedules.
The Spanish Governors Palaces new hours of operation will be
Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Sunday
from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Adult admission is $2; military and
seniors age 60 and over admission is $1.50; and children age 7-13 is
$1.
The Spanish Governors Palace is maintained by the City of San
Antonio Downtown Operations Department. For more information about
hours of operations or for general questions, contact (210)
224-0601.
Also beginning, October 1, the City's 3-1-1 Call Center will change
its service hours from 24 hours a day/7 days a week to the new hours
of 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday including holidays.
All San Antonio Public Library branches with the exception of the
Bannwolf Library at Reagan High School and the new Pruitt Library at
Roosevelt High School will adopt a seven-days-per-week service
schedule beginning October 1. For a complete list of library hours,

The library system has also started a new initiative. Beginning this
month, Unique Management Services, a firm specializing in recovery
services for libraries, will assume responsibility for library card
accounts that have more than $25 in fines and fees and are more than
60 days in arrears. Library officials emphasize that the goal of
their contract with Unique Management Services is to achieve a
higher rate of return of materials checked out from the Library, and
that every effort will be made to assist Library cardholders to
reduce their overdue accounts. Library patrons will receive advance
notice of the implementation of the collection contract to give them
an opportunity to reduce their balances owed.
Library cardholders with accounts in arrears will receive their
first notices from Unique Management Services in early December.
