Help Design the Placitas Community Library

April 5th and 19th meetings at Placitas Elementary School

Residents of Placitas are invited to provide your collective and individual visions and preferences for the design and functions for the new Placitas Community Library (PCL) during two separate public meetings with the architects. These meetings will be from 1-4 p.m. on both April 5 and April 19 at the Placitas Elementary School gymnasium. The architects will provide updates on the design concepts and construction timeline. They expect to break ground by the end of 2008, with completion of Phase I by July 2009. Design plans created by Placitas Elementary school children will be on display. This is your opportunity to have a say in the design and build of the new library. (read more in the March Signpost in the article by jo Anne Fredrikson)

United Way and Placitas Library

Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a hub for library services and activities connecting our community to the world in a warm and friendly environment. Library services include books, audio/visual materials for children, young adults and adults in addition to reference services, high- speed computer access, adult and children's programs and limited meeting space. When we have a permanent location we will provide a wider range of materials, programs, services and a larger community meeting space.
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.
