Our little guy is 1 y/o and he was able to get a library card as well, which we thought was really cute. There was ample parking in the lot, and even the outside of the library was fun to explore. The library is very well cared for. It is clean, well organized and pretty well stocked. They have books, DVDs, tapes, etc. It's a very traditional library, so it was very nostalgic going in there. It's very good for kids - they have a really big kids' section of books as well as an art corner. Here, kids can use crayons on large wall-mounted sheets of paper to create their own art. They even have a separate area just for the teenagers. We like it here.

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 ; )

We spent some time exploring the room that has antique desks, newspapers, magazines, photos, books, and other things. They didn't have many books for sale for adults, as some libraries do. Overall, it was a nice stop and fun to see some books by local authors and historic items.

Not many places to plug in - 2 free desks in the back next to the public computers…read more There doesn't seem to be a cell phone policy, or if there is one, it isn't enforced. People talk in their full voices on their cell phones and the librarians don't ask them to go outside. Also, teenagers use one of the Eugene Manlove Rhodes Room to hang out in, lounge on the floor, talk, laugh, socialize, etc... It's kind of a loud library, not a great place to plug in and work. More desks with plug-ins would be great. Posted signs about not talking on cell phones might help. Also, isn't there somewhere else teenagers can go be loud?

Me and my youngest kiddos really enjoy this library, especially the storytimes which includes book…read morereading, storytelling, singing, dancing and crafts! Bernadette is amazing and I really appreciate her efforts. I'm not sure how much planning goes into their sessions, but she is an educated natural! After storytime they have crafts and she's always giving pointers to parents regarding child development and fine motor skills. Moreover, she's considerate. After craft time she gives out stickers to children when they show her their completed work. Well one time, she learned that we didn't celebrate Halloween and went and requested alternative stickers for us. My mama heart was moved, as that wasn't necessary and we're used to respectfully not partaking in the like. We still enjoyed the Fall pumpkin craft. This library is a great location at a park that has a splash pad (that works during the summer). There are a couple of picnic tables under an awning. Plenty of grass (bring a blanket if you don't have allergies!) There are 2 playgrounds structures in the same vicinity (big kid and toddler). Easy to make a fun, inexpensive day out of it and then be back home for a nap hehe. I've picked up Little Caesar's, headed here and let my kids play and eat. I noticed folks come watch the fireworks at this park during 4th of July also. So there's another option. The library has calendars that you can request or snap a picture of to enjoy all they do. So many forget about these free resources for all ages we have around the corner. Online too! Check it out.

So I went to the free Sip and Paint event at the Esperanza Moreno library in the Far East. I…read morebrought hubby along since he loves painting and he said it was surprisingly fun, since he's a bit of an art snob. I came mostly for the butterbeer and also signed up my sister in law and her teenager. They just moved to El Paso and live so close to this library that has all these cool free programs, especially for teens, I wanted them to check it out. The instructors were so patient and had all the supplies and timing mapped out. We really enjoyed the pacing and I was so stressed outs since I'm a rule follower and art is subjective, but they made me feel so comfortable and I was even complimented on my "splatters" which is harder than it sounds. I understand why most private paints and sips involve w(h)ine. If it wasn't so far and fighting Far East traffic sucks, I would attend more, it's a fantastic program for teens and those who live close by should really take advantage. It's free clean and supervised fun for your teens. You have to RSVP though and they fill up fast. They mentioned the next paint and sip is about Stranger Things.

My daughter wanted to visit the closest library to our new home and away we went. The Belvedere location is cool, clean, and welcoming. The Dewey Decimal system is still in use, lol, so I was able to locate exactly what I was looking for, as well as what my daughter was looking for. I was impressed by how many people were using the facility as well. They had some newspapers, but surprisingly, not too many magazines. I know now-a-days most periodicals can be found on Apple News, but I'm old fashioned in that I like to look and read magazines, page by page. We most definitely will be back, and very soon.

UTEP's & EPPL's libraries have horrible hours in comparison to libraries in other cities I've lived in :( I'm especially disappointed by UTEP's library hours on Saturdays...they're so short compared to other universities' hours!

Much to my surprise, this fine albeit small branch is located within a very good visitors center, which also includes a museum/information on "Spaceport America", most closely identified with Sir Richard Branson & space tourism. Both the library and the visitors center were very capably handled by two extremely knowledgeable women, each dedicated to bringing the best information & services to any curious individuals who enter. Besides a plethora of printed documents in all forms from newspapers to postcards to maps to fliers, she answered all my queries pertaining to this area, notably "Why would any traveler a hundred years and more before venture away from the reliable freshwater source of the exotic Rio Grande/Rio Bravo by veering Northeast through the forbidding/water-less "Jornada Del Mureto" ("Journey of Death")? [To avoid the inevitable/agonizing pre-(motor)vehicle route over a very rough but relatively "flat" route.] My wife & I walked further inside, to the "Spaceport America" information/museum, stopping briefly to observe an appealing hands-on display/command module for children. Far more interesting were hands-on displays concerning gyroscope effects and keeping your balance/center-of-gravity, both very challenging for astronauts, much less for us non-astronauts!
