New Braunfels City Council members have given the green-light to a sponsorship program that will benefit the now under construction westside branch of the New Braunfels Public Library. The sponsorship program approved by council members on Monday will allow local businesses and residents the opportunity to give to the library and receive recognition for their support. âWeâre really excited when we contemplate the opening of another public space for this community,â said Library Director Gretchen Pruett. âIn a public space like this, the city has used partnerships through sponsoring opportunities such as those at Das Rec to collect revenue and put community naming opportunities throughout the building.â
City officials last week broke ground for construction of the $5.5 million New Braunfels Public Library Westside Branch project approved by voters in the 2019 bond election. The Westside Branch project will expand the library services currently offered at the Westside Community Center, replacing the 600-square-foot room located inside the Westside Community Center with an 8,800-square-foot facility being built on that same property. Located at 2932 I-35 South along the I-35 frontage road, the new facility will include a program room, study rooms, teen space, a library collection of up to 20,000 items, computers and a community garden. The Library Foundation will support the $152,764 cost of the community garden.
