New Library Cards (and a new catalog, too!)

The new New Mexico State Library library card.
Come by the New Mexico State Library and get our new library card.

We all know that libraries create value, but here’s something that goes straight into your wallet: our newly designed NMSL library card!

All New Mexico residents with a valid New Mexico driver’s license or other ID with a current New Mexico address may register for a card and check out books in person at the State Library. If you can’t make it to the State Library, you can also request materials in our collection through interlibrary loan at your local library.

Even more exciting: we have a totally new catalog!

Visually browse through new additions in the Southwest collection, the professional collection (for librarians and library staff), and the Foundation Center Collection.

Create and save your frequent searches, create lists of titles and save them to your account, and create citations in either Chicago Manual of Style or APA formats.

We also have a number of new advanced search options that you can use to find just what you need more easily than ever.

Take a look – we think you’ll love it!
