San Antonio Public Library

June 19, 2011

            I arrived to the San Antonio public library without getting lost which was a great start for the day. I went in and went directly to the information desk and spoke to Rolando who gave me some information about the Library. He told me there are five floors in the building but fourth one is for administration. The first floor has teenage/ fiction books, Spanish books and computers that can be used. It also has a section just for videos and movies people can check out. The second floor has nonfiction books and more computers that can be used. The third floor has the all children books and computers with interactive games for the children. The fourth floor is used for administration purposes. The fifth floor holds the reference books and the special collection documents like government and Latino documents. It also has information for small businesses. The sixth floor has old periodicals and Texan documents. He also told me that they use the Dewey Decimal for classification purposes. He also mentioned that patrons could suggest books that they would like for the library to purchase. Throughout the building you can admire great pieces of art, like the one in the third floor where you can find a colorful bull covered in mosaic pieces. It is called 17 Moovelous Young Voices by Thomas Jeffereson High School of the Fine Arts Program.

            My family and I enjoyed going to this library because it had a little bit of everything and for everyone to enjoy its visit. My two year old enjoyed going up and down the escalator. She was also very excited to go to the third floor to the children’s section. My husband enjoyed looking at all the artwork that was exhibited throughout the building. It is a library that is complete and satisfies any patron that goes in it.
