El Paso Public Library

El Paso Public Library

In 1943, the library's collections had again outgrown its original downtown building. By 1951, a bond issue was approved by El Paso voters for $975,000 to build a new, larger library. The new library opened on September 12, 1954. The building was described as "Modern Southwestern", and contained artistic contributions from artists Tom Lea, Jose Cisneros and Ewing Waterhouse. The original Carnegie Building was demolished in 1968. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Paso_Public_Library
