Library Newsletter | October 1

With the new Fall season we have a new library and a new librarian. YOUR community college library has moved to the WJ Klauer campus to better meet the needs of the students and faculty. We are located on the south end of the campus closest to the upper parking lot and are maintaining our regular hours to best serve you. YOUR college library is open until 8pm Monday – Thursday, until 5pm on Friday and yes, we are open on Saturdays as well.

Of course there are computers for use but more importantly there are trained staff that can help you with your homework, or research. There are no librarians who will tell you to “shush” in this library but there actually are some nice little nooks for a quiet study space, or group study tables.

Again, as we try to convey whenever possible, this community college library is also open to ALL members of the community. Anyone can come out to the college campus, take in the fabulous 360 degree view, and check out the books, videos, or magazines and newspapers.

Although we have heard comments about the library being “so far from town” it really is about a 10 minute drive from most communities. And, the Regional Transit District or the “Blue Bus” provides a free ride out here.


With that said, we hope to see you real soon!

Our official open house celebration will be October 22nd from 11am-3pm.

Patrick Wells McMurray joined the UNM-Taos Library team on October 1st. He is a welcome addition to our already competent and caring staff. Patrick was previously employed with the Episcopal School of Dallas as a Library Assistant. Prior employment includes the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Woman’s University.

Patrick was born in Princeton, New Jersey, and raised in New York City. He just recently moved from Santa Fe to here in Taos. He enjoys yoga, hiking and reading. Patrick looks forward to working in his new position as “Assistant Librarian” and assisting you at YOUR community college library.
