Welcome
Established in 1997, the Tribal Libraries Program (TLP) of the New Mexico State Library offers dedicated library development services tailored to the unique needs of tribal communities across the state. The main administrative office is based in Santa Fe, with regional staff located in Crownpoint to support the Navajo communities of northwestern New Mexico.
Vision Statement
Empowering Tribal communities across New Mexico with vibrant, sustainable libraries that honor Indigenous knowledge, languages, and traditions while fostering lifelong learning, connection, and cultural resilience.
Mission Statement
The Tribal Libraries Program at the New Mexico State Library supports and strengthens New Mexico’s Tribal public libraries through advocacy, training, and resources. We partner with Tribal governments and communities to ensure library services reflect and celebrate diverse histories, languages, and cultures, while expanding access to information, technology, and opportunities for growth.
