Great Northwest Branch Library — Attraction in San Antonio

We have been using this branch regularly for the past 5 years. We have visited other branches, but we prefer this one not only because it is close to our home but because it has a more homey feeling. It may not be the newest or most up to date, but it has what you need and is clean and well organized. They have done some recent updates in the past couple of years, also.
