Mesa Public Library

Mesa Public Library is a public library in Los Alamos with a collection of more than 160,000 items, including books, digital media, and resources in several languages. The facility sits on Central Avenue and serves as a key information center for the community.

The library began in 1943 when 70 families each contributed 5 dollars to establish a subscription service. The service became free to all residents in 1945.

The Southwest Collection reflects the region's importance to the community through books about local traditions and landscape. Visitors can find materials that show how people here connect to New Mexico and Arizona's heritage.

The facility has longer hours on weekdays and shorter hours on weekends, with Monday through Thursday offering full daytime hours. Plan your visit accordingly if you expect to spend several hours there.

The current building was designed in 1994 by architect Antoine Predock and displays thoughtful design. The library also features 24-hour lockers for picking up materials outside regular hours.
