Land Purchase, Transfer to the City and Recognition
In 1990, Friends purchased the 1.6 acres at the corner of Pecan and 10th streets. In 1992 Friends gifted the library operations to the City of Pflugerville, including books, materials, and furniture with an estimated value of $250,000, retaining ownership of the land purchased in 1990.
In 1993, the Friends of the Pflugerville Community Library was honored as “Citizen of the Year” by the Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce.
With increased hours and use, still operated mostly by volunteers, a part-time circulation assistant was hired by the city. By 1994 the first City Library Board was established, supporting the goal of putting a new building on the purchased/reserved land.
The Friends intended the land they purchased in 1990 to be the site of a new library for Pflugerville. In 1994, Friends donated the land to the City of Pflugerville, with the stipulation that funds be designated, and a building begun within three years.
