We did it! As a community we all made it through the 2010/2011 winter season, and we did it by keeping each other informed, sharing resources, and working together.
And that is the role of our libraries, also. We are here to help keep our students, faculty, staff and greater community informed, provide access to information and other tools to succeed in school and/or be healthy, happy, productive citizens.
Our role in working together is to go that extra step to not just provide access to information but to provide that personal touch, that individual instruction to help one through the maze. Whether it be encouraging your creativity by assisting you with scanning your artwork or using the various iMac applications, or helping you with the incredibly complicated online applications for a new job, or getting you that perfect book for your research from a library in San Diego, YOUR UNM-Taos Library staff are here to provide that personal touch.
So many of us are starting to look at the ground thawing and dreaming of getting the peas and other cool weather vegetables going, or watching for the flower bulbs to pop their heads out of the ground. YOUR UNM-Taos Library staff watch our patrons grow and blossom each time they learn a new tool to use on the computer or engage in a thought-provoking conversation with other library patrons or find the ability to print out a full article on a topic they are truly interested in.
That is why we are open 7 days a week. Our patrons bring out our passion, and our passion is why we provide that personal touch.
And YOUR UNM-Taos staff members recognize that we can provide these resources and services because of our community. Just as the Taos community came together like no other during the natural gas outage, the community supports YOUR library on a regular basis. From Senator Cisneros and Representative Roberto “Bobby” Gonzales taking our message to the Roundhouse to Alyce Frank opening her house for our fundraising tour, the Taos community helps provide the fertilizer to make things grow as YOUR UNM-Taos Library plants the seeds.
Speaking of planting the seeds, the assistant librarian Ana Pacheco has taken her passion one step further and is pursuing the “greening” of the area outside of YOUR UNM-Taos Library to make for a more pleasant, welcoming area for our patrons.
We looking forward to seeing you soon and providing that personal touch.
