On July 29, 2014, the El Paso City Council voted unanimously to rename the Ysleta branch public library in honor of Sergio Troncoso. City Representative Eddie Holguin, Jr. initiated the motion to rename the library. On October 2, 2015, a rededication ceremony was held at the library.

Sergio Troncoso: “I am grateful and honored to have this public library branch named after me. Ysleta is, and always will be, my home, the place where I was born and grew up as a child. The first place I wrote about as a writer. The El Paso Public Library was so important for me as a young reader, so this honor has a deeper meaning for me. It is the kind of place where I found sanctuary in El Paso as a poor kid who loved to read. The public library was ‘home’ for my mind and my imagination.”

“After I heard about this honor and after the city council voted for it, I thought about how I could inspire children and young adults in Ysleta to love reading and stories just as I did. That’s why I decided to establish the Troncoso Reading Prizes. It is one way I can continue to give back to the Ysleta community and encourage the love of reading and writing.”
