The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library (King Library) is a unique partnership between San José State University (SJSU) and the City of San José. Opened in August 2003, the King Library is the first library in the United States to integrate the services and collections of a major university and a public library system. Located in downtown San José, the King Library offers 475,000 square feet of collections, collaborative work spaces, meeting rooms, exhibit areas, and unique resources dedicated to the lifelong learning of the community. The nine-floor building is the main library for both SJSU and the San José Public Library, and a cornerstone for the entire San José community.
SJSU and SJPL strongly recommend that all visitors (ages 2+) wear a mask.
