The public vote is in for the new Phoenix Public Library branch at the Estrella Civic Space.

Manzanita was the winner of a public poll to name the library, Phoenix Public Library spokesperson Lee Franklin told Independent Newsmedia on Wednesday.

The name will be presented to the Phoenix Library Advisory Board at its next meeting. It will still need to be approved by the Phoenix Heritage Commission and is planned to go to Phoenix City Council for final approval on Wednesday, Nov. 18.
