A presentation by high school students to the San Antonio Library Board of Directors spurred the creation of the Latino Collection and Resource Center, which opened in September, 2017. Marisa Bono, now policy director for San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, was among the high school students who asked the board to add Latino resources for the community. Ellen Riojas Clark, then a library board member, recalls the impact. "You can be a change agent," she said.
