Friends of SAPL receive Proclamation from City of San Antonio

Congratulations to the Friends of the San Antonio Public Library for receiving a proclamation from Mayor Castro and City Council commemorating the group’s 50th Anniversary. Members of the organization and its president, Linda Arronge, were on hand at the March 6 city council meeting to be recognized.

We cannot thank these volunteers enough for all the hard work and love and support that they demonstrate for the Library and its mission.
