The former Cesar Chavez Library in Phoenix is now the Prickly Pear Library.
That was the overwhelming favorite from a public survey out of five desert flora names. Phoenix City Council approved the name on Wednesday through a unanimous consent agenda vote.
City council voted in March to strip Cesar Chavez’s name from all city property after allegations emerged that the labor leader sexually abused girls and women. In the interim, the library branch southwest of 35th Avenue and Baseline Road, has been called the Library in Laveen.
