The books are gone, but you can buy what’s left of the Skillman Southwestern library building at an auction this week.
The empty building will be auctioned off at 11 a.m. on Tuesday at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, 1515 Young St.

The library system has been under strain since budget decisions last year led to the permanent closure of the Skillman Southwestern branch, with books, computers and furniture reassigned to other locations.

The former Skillman library, a 13,200-square-foot red-brick building tucked between apartment complexes near The Village, opened in July 1996.
Dallas residents approved the project in a 1978 bond, and the land was bought in 1982, but the groundbreaking was delayed for almost a decade, according to a 1996 article in The Dallas Morning News.
The auction, hosted by Hudson & Marshall, is open to the public. Bidding registration begins one hour before the auction.
