This little library was very well-kept on 12.23.2024…read more It's inside the downtown mini mall in Hobbs, New Mexico. Therefore, it is not accessible after hours. Somebody had taken the time to organize it and keep it tidy. This was one of the few little libraries that had adult books. Five stars due to the fact that it was so well maintained with the cutest white shelving unit.

Murray Elementary is home to a Little Library that is erected in front of the school…read more The box is shaped like a miniature house with an easily accessible latch. There were several books inside when I visited on 12.23.2024. Therefore, I saved most of my donations for the other 5 public little libraries that I was aware of... one of them was a brief walk away at nearby City Park. Thanks to the following organizations for this opportunity... Hobbs Schools, Skills USA, Murray Elementary, Friends of the Hobbs Public Library, and the Delta Kappa Gamma-Alpha Lambda International Society for Key Women Educators.

City Park in Hobbs, NM, has a Little Library…read more It's near the entrance with the arched sign. When I dropped off some children's books on 12.23.2024 I noticed there were only a handful of ratty children's books. No young adult or adult choices. If you don't know how little libraries work, you're supposed to bring a book to trade for one. It's a borrowing system. Hence, the inclusion of the word "library." Just because it's free doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of it. Thank you once again to City of Hobbs, Hobbs Rotary Club, Hobbs Schools, Hobbs Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, & our community's book donors. #LittleLibrary #LittleLibraries #books #HobbsNM #NewMexico #JenniInNewMexico #JenniInTheUSA

The Little Library at Del Norte Park in Hobbs, New Mexico, is near the first playground as you…read moreenter the park. Parking is free and ample. As of 12.23.2024, the library was not well maintained. Books were rummaged through and bent out of shape. Even more disturbing was the fact that the whole unit had been shifted upon the concrete in which it sat. I still have to give four stars for this one because donors are still volunteering their reads to the program. Please teach your children (and unruly adults) to be gentle with books and to treat them with respect so that others may foster a love of reading.
