How To Help

Volunteering

Thank you to our valuable volunteers for their contributions of time and service! To learn about library volunteer opportunities, contact us at 575-538-3672, and ask for the Public Services Manager.

Donations

The library accepts monetary donations and donations of books. Book donations should be placed in the donation bin to the right of the silver book return bin. It is the bin further from the Cooper Street doors. If you have multiple boxes of books to donate, please do not leave them on or around the book bin. We do not want the books to be damaged by the weather. Please contact the Friends of the Library at folsilvercitynm@gmail.com or call the library at 575-538-3672 to arrange for large book donations.
