History
The Schertz Public Library began in 1977 with a dedicated group of volunteers who went door-to-door gathering signatures on a petition requesting the establishment of a public library in Schertz. The library was established by a City resolution in January 1978 and opened for service in June of 1978. The original library was located in a 1,500-square-foot building provided by the City at the corner of 1st Street and Main Street. In December 2005, local businessman, Eric White, and his wife Carolyn donated one million dollars to the City to be used for building a new library. The donation provided the impetus for creating a bond committee and presenting the library project to the community. The six million dollar bond project was overwhelmingly approved by voters in the May 2006 election. The building was completed in June 2009 and opened to the public on August 29, 2009.
