To limit the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus within our community, the closure of the Silver City Public Library has been extended past the previously-announced opening date of April 6. The library will remain closed until further notice for public safety.
We apologize for any inconvenience and ask for your patience during this time.
You can still contact us at 575-538-3672, ref@silvercitymail.com, or on Facebook at facebook.com/SilverCityPublicLibrary. We can help you access online resources and answer questions.
The New Mexico hotline for health questions– discussing symptoms, determining next steps– is 1-855-600-3453.

Are people able to access your seed library in any way?
I regret that the seed library has been out of commission for 10 months or so, because there have been no volunteers to help maintain the seed collection. If you know of anyone who would be willing to process seed donations and organize them, as well as keeping track of what gets borrowed, please let me know.
Having the library building closed is a separate issue. I would have to think about whether there is a safe way to make the seeds available.
