The library itself seemed fine, we did not utilize it as much as we are not local, just here for a…read morefew months while my husband is on a contract for Work. My issue here was with the baby/toddler story time. In the state we were before, the libraries we visited, had realistic expectations of BABIES during baby/toddler story time. They were allowed to get up and move around, crawl, but here at this library, they are expected to be little robots and sit in place and not be loud. On our last visit, my heart absolutely broke for a little boy who was a little older (but still younger than 5). He was there with his mom and younger siblings and after the lady leading baby story time finished the book she was reading, she called this little boy out in front of EVERYONE and told him he needed to be quiet while she was reading so the other babies could listen. Mind you, I was sitting 5 feet away from him, and didn't even realize that he was making any noise while she was reading. I even asked my husband who was right there with me afterwards and he said he didn't notice him at all either. This little boy looked like he was going to cry after that and completely shut down, not able to enjoy the rest of the activities. He wasn't even disruptive and the lady leading storytime made it seem like the babies she was reading to were inconvenienced by him. With that being said, maybe books that are age-appropriate for babies and toddlers should be read instead of short stories which are too long for their attention span. This was not the first incident where it seemed very unrealistic for children of this age being told to be quiet or sit still, but this was the final straw, and we will not return to this baby story time because of it.

I just want to say thank you very, VERY much to the folks at the Montgomery Park branch (Erna…read moreFergusson) of the Albuquerque Public Library! I was in Albuquerque earlier this month and needed to check my email, as I'd been out of internet range for the past week. I stopped in the library and inquired about the procedures for using the public computers. All the staff were extremely friendly; they were very hospitable and explained that anyone who carried an Albuquerque public library card could use the PCs at no charge, and the application for a library card was quick and easy. Within minutes, they had processed my application and I had a library card in hand! I was able to log on to a PC and go through all my emails (both for work and home) within an hour. It was such a relief to reconnect to the outside world while I had some free time, and take care of a few projects that needed to be done before I returned home. The librarians were very conscientious and reminded me that, since I was using a public computer, they did not recommend I access any extremely private information (such as a bank account). I appreciated their thoughtfulness in helping me protect my identity. The library itself is an extremely welcoming space, with a glass front entryway and wide areas for bookshelves and reading tables. Its location is perfect for a neighborhood library: just off a main street, a block from a lovely park, and next to a senior activity center. I have always loved libraries, and this experience is just one of many pleasant hours I've spent within their walls. Thank you, Erna Fergusson Public Library, for your hospitality and your wonderful environment!

I only recently discovered this gem, but it's instantly become one of my local go-to spots…read more - It's a good sized library with plenty of tables and computers, which is especially good for social distancing. - They have a diverse selection of adult and children's books and media (DVDs and audiobooks). I like the little anime and manga corner in the kid's section. They also have convenient book returns outside and in the entrance way for quicker drop offs. - They hold weekly and monthly events, such as story time and yoga. - Clean bathrooms and hand sanitizer are available. - The staff are friendly and helpful. - And it's located next to a park with a beautiful view of the mountains, so if you're anything like me, it's a perfect combo for reading outside. Happy reading!

ca. 630 BC the Assyrian King Ashurbanipal became indeed the most powerful ruler the world had seen…read moreuntil that age. Before him, rulers such as Sargon the great (Akkadian), Gilgamesh (Sumerian), and even Hammurabi (Babylonian), although having conquered more land, and having done it before him, couldn't even come close to his greatness. The reason - he became the first ruler of an empire to recognized the value in learning how to read and write. He fell so in love with acquiring knowledge, so much in love with the written word, he decided to collect copies of all the clay tablets around the known world - an impossible and insurmountable task, but one the benefits of which still impact us today, for his was the idea, in his megalomania and in all his power, of building one of the first (and greatest up until then) libraries in the world - the Library of Nineveh. Today, we are not emperors, kings, or queens, but we hold equal, if not more, power, as Ashurbanipal understood it. Power does not reside in arms, and armies, or in brute strength; power resides in the mind. True power resides in knowledge - for a man, or woman, can move armies with just words. A man, or a woman, can change history by enlightening people's minds with his/her acquired wisdom. Following the great tradition of the library of Nineveh, or the great library of Alexandria, the Zimmerman library at UNM offers a gateway to pure, unadulterated wisdom. I particularly become fond of its Center for Southwestern Research archives collection. Here, not only will you find documents that retrace the history of the region since before the arrival of the first Europeans to the new world, but also more contemporary elements, elements you're probably reading about in class, or would just love to touch and hold in your hands. While doing research for a film I'm working on, I got to touch a 500 year old Spanish book of records with the genealogical information for the first village Founded by free and escaped African Slaves in the new world (in Mexico), a village probably founded before the birth of The United States itself. I got to touch and analyze the records of a store clerk that sold items to the Confederacy, as well as letters, the actual letters, by Coretta Scott King, the honorable Elijah Mohammed, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Rachel Welch, and many others historical figures we only read about or watch in movies. The items in their collection are priceless. They are items that should be housed in a museum - and eventually will be - in the mean time, if you're a student at UNM or just someone like me, traveling from place to place while working, make a stop at the Zimmerman library a priority. As a matter of fact, if you visit New Mexico for it's history whether Anasazi, Pueblo, Spanish, or Western, and you don't visit the Zimmerman archives, you're doing yourself a disservice. Additionally, Samuel, Chris, Nancy, Marnie, and the many other archivist working there are some of the most amazing most knowledgeable people you'll meet in New Mexico. They have incredible passion for what they do and are more than willing to help you with and accommodate any request - I can truly say, out of all the great times I've had in 5 months I've spent in New Mexico, I've had the best times researching the UNM archives at the Zimmerman library thanks to them.

They have a huge selection of books and the staff is knowledgeable and able to help you. Also…read moreoffers tutoring services on the third floor and has Starbucks downstairs.
