C.O.P.S./METRO: Memorial Library

Description

Former Communities Organized for Public Service (C.O.P.S.) President Andy Sarabia discusses activism in San Antonio during the 70's.

Memorial Library was the first out of 7 to be built in C.O.P.S. communities on San Antonio's west side.

Memorial library came out of a library masterplan that C.O.P.S. leaders in the 70's put together, in order to get a bond issued for libraries. 11 total libraries came out of the bond.

Until Memorial library was erected, there were no libraries on the west side, only bookmobiles.
