Wow, this is a great local resource!…read more I have been in here 5 times in the month that we've lived here. I went in and got a card within minutes from a pleasant librarian, and they have self-checkout stations which expedites the process. They have a comprehensive children's section with a nice play area downstairs (and a HUGE reading area). There are also DVD's down there for kids. The fiction section is thorough, they have Paulo Coehlo, TC Boyle, and a few other authors I've been reading this summer. The new books section is current too, I just bought two books from Amazon the other day and saw them in the library that weekend (doh!). There's a small jungle gym out front, which makes a nice diversion for my daughter when we stop in here. There is also a lovely skate park where I see tons of local kids hanging out riding their bikes and boards which I think is GREAT, a healthy diversion for them. This is a highly educated community so I'm not surprised that they invest heavily in their library, I am just thrilled to benefit from it!

In almost very city a trip to the local library is a must!…read more With its charming exterior, Santa Fe Public Library is a welcome sight when walking around historic Santa Fe. The interior is clean and well lit, and new book titles easy to find. We came in from the cold to warm up and to look at all the community flyers. Bathrooms are located on the ground and second floors, which also has some historic information. I wish we could've spent longer in here but metered parking only covered us for two hours!

Friendly staff made us feel comfortable browsing the shelves and rooms in their library. Looked at…read moretheir selections in their Friends of the Library bookstore. Picked up a card at the circulation desk with information to download another library app: The Palace Project. Our library is not part of it, but there are still books to borrow. Maybe YOUR library is on it, and you'll have full access to all their books! We do have Libby & Hoopla, and they had cards with information on how to download and use both of those library apps.

All sales are plowed back to sponsor programs for kids and adult programs and activities at all Santa Fe Libraries.

Of course there are exceptions, but the majority of the staff is miserable, bitter and unfriendly and they give the rest a terrible name. Love their programs, hate this branch's staff.

La Farge is an integral part of the neighborhood and a great library…read more It is close to the high school and the Higher Education Center, and it's a great asset to all who live in the neighborhood, including me.

I think this is a great local library especially for a small town. I'm glad it exists and provides…read morea space for all who need it and utilize it (but then, I feel that way about any and every library). Staff is always friendly and helpful and I'm sure they put up with a lot of colorful characters, so that's really saying something. I do wish there was an option to print in color! (B/W only.) Computers are really just for basic internet use, but again, still overall a decent resource for a small town library. Amazing art books! Lots of Southwest specific and special access to very old archive from the town's original library if you're a mega-book nerd! And love the used book shop - some definite treasures to be found in there if you look frequently enough. Support your local library always!

I was a volunteer at Carnegie during my high school days, late '50's. Library was well stocked and…read moreup-to-date. The facilities were clean and the furniture not too uncomfortable. Has the friendly personnel been changed for some old grouches? Stacks included a wide range of western history by some well-known authors. It was a well known library with ties to state libraries so a member had immediate access to to other libraries by mail or phone requests Well kept grounds made picnics enjoyable too.

If you know me, you know I love a good library. I was in Rio Rancho and needed to do some work so I…read moredecided to stop by Loma Colorado- it is tucked away in a neighborhood and stands on a hill all by itself. I went while city voting was being done, but luckily they have plenty of parking so I had no issue finding a spot. You approach a librarian for a private room, which thankfully they had available. The WiFi was a tad spotty, but you are out in deep Rio Rancho so what do you expect! Kids area was large and clean, they even had an outdoor playground area. I also loved that they had a little bookstore on site. Keep in mind it is a $10 minimum for credit cards. I will def be back to work when I'm in the area!

Hands down one of the nicest libraries I've ever visited. It's clean, spacious, quiet, etc…read more Everything you could possibly want from a library. They have a wonderful selection of books, spanning a wide range of genres. You could spend a long time just browsing the shelves, looking for new books. Something that I thought was awesome, is that there's even a dedicated "teen room" for patrons under a certain age to hang out in and read. I'm too old to go in there, but you can see from the outside that it's well stocked with books and even has computers (for use with a library card).

It's a nice small library. Librarians are nice but one of them talks about others. I was able to…read moreget my resources and not have to get it from another library. There are plenty of computers to accommodate. Seating isn't so private, they are facing each other where everyone walks. So while reading people are walking in front of you. I accidentally left my coin purse at a table. I went back to get it unfortunately someone stole it. :( I know it was just coins but the coin purse meant a lot to me. I checked at front desk and no one brought it in. So I left in a sad vibe. Left my number there if anyone brought it in, but no calls yet.

Went here to read in a quiet place, which I would have assumed a library to be…read more The library shares a building with a town hall, and there isn't even a door separating the library from the town hall's entrance, where a large crowd of people were congregated talking loudly. Sound in the library itself, in the very farthest corner, was very loud. When that crowd finally moved elsewhere, the librarians themselves sat and engaged in a loud conversation at the circulation desk. It was impossible to concentrate on my reading. If even a library can't be a quiet place to concentrate on a book, what's left?
