Kendalia Library"In 1958, Kendalia School consolidated with Blanco ISD and the rock school building became the Kendalia Community Club. On May 5, 1961, the Club designated the west room for the Kendalia Public Library. Women of the community processed the donated books while the men built wooden shelves.
For fifteen years the Kendalia Public Library received no funding except for personal and United Way donations. In 1976, the library began the children's summer reading program.
In 1976, Kendall County Commissioner's Court voted to fund the library $500 per year. In 1980, the Kendall County Library System was founded and Kendalia Public Library qualified as a system member of the San Antonio Area Library System."
