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.
The library DOES have one paid employee......Bonnie the cat.
