The New Mexico State Library is a government library in Santa Fe.
History[edit]
The library was established by an act of the New Mexico Legislature in 1961 from the library extension service that had previously been part of the Museum of New Mexico.[1]
Collection and programs[edit]
The library uses the Dewey Decimal system for its catalog. Notable parts of the collection are the Southwest Collection and publications from the state and federal government.[2] In addition to lending and preserving materials, the state library also provides funds to public libraries throughout New Mexico and runs a rural bookmobile.[3]
