TWO TIPS We’ve moved! YOUR
library is now located in the beautiful Pathways building next to Padre Martinez Hall. The Lobo Food Pantry
is free for all students in need and is located in front of the main entrance to Fred Peralta Hall.
FROM THE DIREC TOR ’S DESK Kathleen Knoth
Welcome back to returning students and faculty, and greetings to those of you just starting at UNM-Taos! We publish YOUR library newsletter bi-monthly to keep you informed of the tools, resources, and services we provide to help you in your academic endeavors. This is also to reach out to our community partners with a friendly reminder that the UNM-Taos Library is open to everyone. And, if you don’t need help with your coursework, you might want to at least come out to sit in YOUR brand-new library and take in one of the more spectacular views in northern New Mexico. Speaking of views, some of you may see this change in seasons as a time to view the colorful aspen leaves, some see it as a time to roast chiles, and others see it as a time to stock up on firewood. We, here in YOUR library, see it as GO Bond season. Yes, there is a two-year cycle where our legislators consider General Obligation Bond requests and they are then placed on the election ballot for you to vote on. I like to think of the Jackson Five song “A-B-C, easy as 1-2-3”. GO Bond A is for Senior Citizen Centers, Bond B for Libraries, and Bond C for capital projects. Or, ‘A’ for ancianos, ‘B’ for books, and ‘C’ for colleges and universities. The question for the bonds is usually on the very end of the ballot, at which point you’re tired and confused. Please feel free to reach out to YOUR college library if you would like to discuss them further. We would also be happy to come speak to your group or organization. For Taos area residents, the passage of GO Bond B could supplement YOUR college library’s budget by approximately $18,000. This is significant in enabling us to provide 24/7 access to research and reference materials, and keep the collections relevant and up-to-date for all of our users. The total Bond Issue B is $19 million…$6 million each for public libraries, academic libraries, and school libraries and $1 million for tribal libraries across the state. These monies are divvied up by specific formulas depending on the type of library. GO Bond C would allocate $3 million to UNM-Taos for renovations to Fred Peralta Hall and to update instructional spaces for the arts and construction technology. Fred Peralta Hall was built in 1996, so just think if you had been in your home for over 25 years. You’ve probably had to fix the roof at least once, replaced a hot water heater, etc., and these are the types of things we’re looking to use these bond monies for—making for a safer building and creating state-of-the-art instructional spaces. Lastly, keep in mind that passing these bonds will not raise taxes. Also, these are statewide bonds so if you are not affiliated with UNM-Taos in any way, your vote could positively affect another school, library or senior citizen center you depend on. “Libraries Need You, You Need Libraries”…see you at the voting booth!
