If you're a first-time driver, or have just moved from another state and need a New Mexico driver's license, one thing you'll need access to is the New Mexico Driver's License Manual [PDF]. Since more government forms and publications are saving paper and going digital, it may be difficult to actually get your hands on a copy. While we have a paper copy at the Main Library Reference Desk, at 40+ pages it would take a lot of in-library study time to absorb all of it. You can make photocopies of it at ten cents per page, which might be your best bet if you only need a few sections here and there, but photocopying can be time consuming if you need the whole thing.If you need the entire manual in hard copy, your best bet may be to sign up for one of our free public PCs and just print it up. The New Mexico Motor Vehicle Department has links to PDF versions of it in both English and Español. Our printers only accept cash and coin, but with five singles you should be able to get it done in no time. If you have internet access and a computer, you can study the whole thing just by going to any of the above links.
Just remember: don't use your laptop or smartphone while driving, and best of luck on your driving test!
