Line 26: The '''San José Public Library''' is the public library system of [[San José, California]]. Its central library, [[Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library]], is also the main library of the [[San José State University]]. Built in 2003, King Library is the first joint use library in the United States shared by a major university as its only library and a large city as its main library. It has more than 1.6 million items. The building has eight floors that result in more than {{convert\|475000\|sqft\|m2}} of space with a capacity for 2 million volumes.<ref>[http://www.sjlibrary.org/history-king-library SJ Library MLK History page] (Mentions joint university/city status, collection size and uniqueness of project.)</ref> The city has 23 neighborhood branches including the Biblioteca Latinoamericana which specializes in [[Spanish language]] works.<ref>[http://www.sjpl.org/locations Locations page at SJ Library site](See BL article for its references.)</ref> The [[East San José Carnegie Branch Library]], a [[Carnegie library]] opened in 1908, is the last Carnegie library in Santa Clara County still operating as a public library and is listed in the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. As the result of a bond measure passed in November 2000, a number of brand new or completely reconstructed branches have been completed and opened. The brand new Village Square Branch [http://www.sjpl.org/villagesquare Village Square Branch] is under construction, bringing the bond library project to its completion.<ref>[http://www.sjlibrary.org/about/sjpl/bond/index.htm Bond Projects for Branch Libraries page at the SJ Library site]</ref>
