Update on library move dates

For all of those who have been asking and who are generously volunteering to help us with the move to

the new library, our dates are firming up.  We will be open all of January and February at the old library. 

The last day that the library will be open at the old location will be February 27th.  This will be the last

day to turn in books, make donations, and use the old facility. There will be no library available from

February 28th until March 23rd, when the doors of the new library will open to the Placitas community. 

We are very excited that it is almost here.

We are happy to announce that the final submission date for the Picture Placitas program has being

extended until January 31, 2010.  We have received many wonderful entries, and we are looking forward

to what others will submit.  Please submit your view of Picture Placitas.

LOCAL AUTHORS

As the PCL looks toward moving into the new space, hopefully, next fall, we would like to gather names

and titles of all our local authors. Please contact the Library, 867-3355, and leave your name and number,

or that of local authors you know, for Joan Jander.

Public Use Computers

At the Placitas Community Library, we have three public use computers for our patrons. They provide

access to the Internet and to many special public access sites made available through the New Mexico

State Library Network. There is no fee for using these systems and there is a small fee for printing

documents from these systems.  

Our Mission

The Placitas Community Library seeks to become an essential part of the life of our residents by promoting

an enriched, informed, and connected community. We provide and promote open and equal access to OUR

resources and services in order to meet the informational, educational and cultural needs of our diverse

community in a welcoming, convenient and responsive manner.

Our motto is, "Una Placita Para Todos -- A Place for Everyone."
 
The Placitas Community Library is a grassroots effort to establish a permanent library in Placitas and

encourages a true community effort by bringing residents together to participate in establishing the library.

We believe that our library is an essential building block in developing a sense of community pride and spirit.

Our volunteer effort invigorates and moves people in this common goal of community building.
 
The library DID have one paid employee....Bonnie the cat. With our upcoming move getting near, just before

Christmas, Bonnie moved into a new permanent home with a family that already loves her.  She was a

wonderful library cat!
