Take a 10th Anniversary Tour of the San Jose Public Library's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library

From "History of the King Library".   In February 1997, San Jose Mayor Susan Hammer and San Jose State University President Robert L. Caret announced their intention to build a new library that would serve both as the SJSU Library and as the City’s Main Library. The new library would be (and still is) the first joint use library in the United States shared by a major university as its only library and a large City as its main library.
