Our Partners at San José Public Library
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library is a unique partnership between San José State University and the City of San José. Opened in August 2003, the King Library is the first in the United States to integrate the services and collections of a major university and a public library system. The nine-floor building is the main library for both San José State University and the San José Public Library, and a cornerstone for the entire San José community.
