Pumapayam Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) has there been any news on the new development for the kendall branch library? old article What is happening to the one by my old middle school, Spring Forest.

texasdago Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 They're going to raze it and the closest library will be on Eldridge (!) Makes no sense. Kendall Branch was designed by Earle Alexander of Pierce Goodwin Alexander and Linville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I read that at one point, it was going to be built on SBISD land, where Tully Stadium is, that would have been a great assest for the high school kids to have a study place after school.

The problem is that they would need to expand eastward onto SBISD property. I am not sure if they were ever able to make a deal with SBISD. It seems that they never thought about expanding the size of the library by going up, which seems like a no brainer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
