Limited collection, plenty of public computer terminals, extremely limited information services. Its a well meaning library, run by paraprofessionals and well meaning volunteers. Environment is often loud, most often not from the little kids, but from the volunteers. Overall, typical organization found in provincial towns and small cities. Seemingly hampered by the egos involved in their governing board. Odd in the age of information technology where so much can easily be accomplished with a little bit of knowledge and gumption.

(My motto has always been you can never have too much kitchen stuff!!) Found Christmas gifts and a few things for me. In particular I found a wire container shaped like an egg. I asked what it was which started a guessing game with staff and other customers. Of course I had to buy it (only $3). Came home, Google image search revealed its for turkey stuffing. I don't cook stuffing that way but I know I'll find a creative use for it. Helpful and friendly staff. Great inventory nicely organized.

Plus, all family throwing rose petals in the air & stating one thing they remembered about her before she was buried meant a lot. It was meaningful, and I couldn't ask for better service than what he provided. Thank you, Rivera Funeral Home, for all you did for me and my family during vulnerable moments of my loss of my mother.

It is hard not to notice this pink palace in Santa Fe, N.M. Wikipedia says the building is of a…read more"Moorish Revival style structure based loosely on one of the gatehouses to the Court of the Lions at the Alhambra in Spain." The architects who designed it were famous for their work in the Spanish California Mission style, but decided instead to "base their design on a connection between the Spanish building tradition of New Mexico and that of the Moors in southern Spain." Whatever the architectural designation, it is a beautiful building. Noteworthy is the pink colored stucco that this Masonic Lodge has as it's outer covering. Because Santa Fe is such a vibrant city and the bold colors of the desert Southwest are everywhere, the pink stucco does not seem as garish as it conceivably could. Still it caught my eye when I was on the Santa Fe City Tour and I was very taken with the unique design elements of this Lodge. Originally chartered on May 8, 1851 under the Grand Lodge of Missouri, Montezuma Lodge, from its beginning, assumed a leadership role and did everything in its power to pave the way for Masonry, in the entire territory. At this time, the New Mexican frontier was a dangerous place. The Lodge's first official Junior Warden was killed by Apache Indians just 4 months into his job. Anglo Americans in Santa Fe were rare and there was almost no women among them. Except for saloons and gambling halls, there were no social center to be founds. There were no Protestant churches; not even a cemetery for the burial of their dead. It really was the wild, wild west! But the Masonic Lodge became a civilizing factor in town. Soon the members had founded a cemetery to host funerals of their members. The Lodge brought men of like minds together, furnished them a social life and mutual protection amid the dangerous frontier. For nine years it was the only lodge in the territory. This building is also listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It certainly contains a host of artifacts from the mid 1800's when most of the furniture of the original lodge was transported by wagon train over the old Santa Fe Trail from Missouri. Some of that furniture is still in use today! Though a little suspicious of Masons because of the Dan Brown books (Da Vinci Code, etc.) and Nicolas Cage "National Treasure" movies, I will give them the benefit of the doubt here and 5 YELP STARS for their fabulous Santa Fe Masonic Lodge.
