I am not new to Las Cruces, but it's the first time that I have visited the university's Zuhl Library. I want to express how helpful the staff at this library was. I called the library and came in and had more questions and both times I was answered clearly and concisely about what I was asking about. I was impressed with their selection of Japanese language culture, for having relatively small amount of Japanese courses offered here. But I think what sold me on this library was the ambiance of the library, specially the 3rd floor. Lots of space, big sky lights and I loved the southwestern art found on the first floor. I want those giant marble balls near the elevators ... so cool. I will be coming here as much as I can, this summer ; )

Then I went in and realized as I wandered that the inside seems to go on forever. Twisting and turning through a maze of rooms that all seem to lead to another, I kept finding something new to look at. If you like to read actual books and not electronic versions, this is a must see to appreciate kind of place. The staff is extremely helpful in navigating to a certain author if you ask.

I was on my 277mile/363kms Birthday Biketour from El PasoTX to Las CrucesNM to HatchNM (turnaround…read morepoint), observing a very pleasant train depot re-purposed into the public library, not yet knowing how incredibly important this institution is to the community. Crossing the tracks, I was extremely disappointed that "free" WiFi was not available virtually anywhere here. However, dynamic David, Curator of the local museum, informed me that the public library has free WiFi. Good thing it was during the workweek (I was biketouring 28-31AUG2019, and VERY GLAD to not have to share extremely congested roads during the annual Chile Festival every Labor Day 24 hours later!), when both the library and the outstanding museum were open. I pedaled back to the beautiful library, going inside to meet dynamic director Alice/her staff, who only asked that I apply for a library card to receive the password. Like the incredible public libraries in Texas, access to WiFi increases contact to the World, as well as the immediate area. [As an aside, the very amiable Alice mentioned her daughter playing a volleyball game at ChaparralNM; I replied good wishes for her daughter, that I had pedaled by the relatively new school the day before whilst going over Anthony Gap.] Alice also commented that many bicyclists stop here (the library) strictly for the WiFi access--just like me! In fact, I spent most of he night sitting on the front steps, utilizing their truly free WiFi! Interestingly, I noted that many locals will motor into the parking lot & stop, also accessing this wonderful service. Alice/her staff/Hatch Public Library certainly have my coveted "Wheel of Approval!"

You can either show the person in the visitor center to get a receipt or display it in your car on the dash or hangtag. The person in the visitor center was helpful. The park closes at sunset (with the chance of fees if you don't leave by then) and so there's a whiteboard with the exact time you need to leave. There are a bunch of trail maps and the maps that prohibit dogs are also clearly marked. The worker recommended the La Cueva trail as there wasn't enough time for us to do the trail originally planned and gave us the back story behind it. He seemed very knowledgeable! There are gorgeous views and the trails seemed well maintained with gravel/dirt.
