Newspapers & Research
We are temporarily taking new library card applications for residents to access our digital resources and curbside pickup of physical materials while our buildings remain closed. Please send us your full name, date of birth, address within Santa Fe County, phone number, email address, and which library (Main, La Farge, Southside) you’d like to pick up your card from, to library@santafenm.gov and we’ll message your card number back to you as soon as possible (no email and card services on Sundays).
Your card may be picked up with photo ID and proof of your current address (bill, lease, etc.) during Curbside Pickup hours at the library of your choice. If you signed up for a new card through email prior to July 24, 2020 and cannot pickup your card at Main, please call 955-6785 to let us know which branch is more convenient for you.
