Great news for outdoor enthusiasts!


The Main Branch of the Santa Fe Public Library is now loaning National Geographic Trails Illustrated maps. We have maps from all over the Southwest including: Bandelier, the Guadalupe Mountains, Big Bend, and Canyonlands. All the maps are waterproof and tear resistant, and include trails, points of interest, roadways, and topographical information.  All the maps are in the catalog or you can view them as a part of the November display at the Main Branch. Fall is a great time to explore the Southwest!
