Roosevelt Library

Roosevelt Library The Roosevelt Library is home to the Roosevelt Library Social Club (RLSC). The main room can accommodate seating for up to 80 or 150 with food stations.

The historic Roosevelt Library, built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, is a uniquely elegant space that regularly hosts private events. The building has an interesting history as it was formerly the Roosevelt Park Branch Library from 1929 to 1968. It was one of two libraries built after San Antonio’s downtown Carnegie library was demolished after it flooded in 1921. The building was named af

ter Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt who trained with the Rough Riders near the site. The former library was renovated in 2013 to preserve it’s interesting and charming features, such as the large working fireplace and hand painted wood beams in the entry foyer, while updating the building with a renowned chef’s kitchen, lounge, gallery, and vintage barbershop making it a delightful venue to explore. The charming space is complimented by delicious food prepared by the Roosevelt Library’s chefs or catered by one of our recommended vendors. They main dining room features fourteen high foot ceilings and, at 36’ long, one of San Antonio’s longest dining tables which comfortably seats 32. The Roosevelt Library has the added benefit of being adjacent to the unique and thriving neighborhoods of King William, Lavaca, and Blue Star, collectively known as Southtown, with galleries, coffeehouses, hipster dive bars, artists’ compounds, crafts ateliers, restaurants, and bistros.
