Get Rid of Green Waste

FREE Clean-Up to Promote Wildfire Protection
June 25
8:00 am and 4:45 pm


Santa Fe City and County residents can take their green waste to the Buckman Road Recycling and Transfer Station (BuRRT), 2600 Buckman Road for FREE between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. on Saturday, June 25. Residents are advised to clean green waste around their homes that could present a fire hazard and dispose of it for FREE on June 25. Green waste includes dried leaves, grasses, weeds, tree limbs and brush. Items such as household trash or appliances will NOT be free. This event is sponsored by the City and County of Santa Fe and Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency.

Here are some tips to protect your home and neighborhood:

Protect your property from wildfire and clean your yard to create a 30 foot defensible space to ensure ground fuels are well groomed so fire does not easily spread.

Trim and limb trees and bushes if possible so the low ground fire cannot climb and spread by crowning in the tree tops.

Keep yard waste picked up and dispose of waste properly.

Ensure that propane tanks and grills are not within 30 feet of your home.

Move wood piles away from homes and decks.

Mow weeds and lawns and remove dried leaves, pine needles, weeds and other dead vegetation.

Use non-flammable landscaping materials such as rock, pavers, annuals and high-moisture-content perennials within five feet of your home.

If you live in a moderate to high hazard wildland area, consider fire-resistant patio furniture, swing sets and accessories.

Fire restrictions are in place in the City and the County. The use of all outdoor ignition sources including smoking, charcoal grills, campfires, weed and crop burning are strictly prohibited. Please be diligent when using power tools outdoors and remember to use a spark arrester. Do not park a hot motor vehicle in areas covered with dry vegetation, weeds and grasses.

For more information:
City residents contact City of Santa Fe Fire Prevention at (505) 955-3310

More Numbers for You

Each year, Santa Fe Public Library staffers have to crunch numbers and analyze services to answer a plethora of surveys. Some of these surveys are for the State of New Mexico, some for non-profits like the American Library Association, and others are for various federal agencies. Since these annual surveys can sometimes feel like a Sisyphean task, it's always nice to see some results come out of them.

The following facts were sent out as talking points for this year's Library Legislative Day. While 2011's day has passed, it's good to keep in mind year-round how helpful public libraries are for a variety of tasks for everyone in the community. Locally, the Santa Fe Public Library answered YES to all the following questions this year:

85.0% of New Mexico's public libraries help people access and use employment resources, including helping with job searches, creating resumes and submitting employment applications.

95.9% of New Mexico's public libraries offer IT and other technical training, helping people gain essential technology skills for the 21st Century workforce.

91.8% of New Mexico's public libraries act as the bridge between government and its services, offering free access and assistance to help people complete online government forms.

54.3% of New Mexico's public libraries are often the only free source of Internet access in their communities, providing a vital link to technology and information.

Data: The Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study survey is managed by the Center for Library & Information Innovation at the University of Maryland and funded by the American Library Association and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. More information about libraries & the Internet is available at http://www.plinternetsurvey.org/. 2009-2010 & 2010-2011 data presented.

Rep. Luján’s Staff Holds Mobile Office Hours

Main Library
145 Washington Ave.
Thursday June 23
11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

During Mobile Office Hours, Congressman Ben Ray Luján’s staff is available to residents who need assistance with casework, but may not have the means or time to travel to one of Luján’s six district offices. Staff will be on hand to assist residents who have questions regarding Social Security benefits, immigration applications, veterans’ services, and other federal programs.

Full Plate

The USDA recently replaced the ubiquitous yet confusing food pyramid with a plate graphic. The new picture should make it easier for all of us to figure out if we're balancing our meals nutritiously. However, to paraphrase a comment, it will definitely depend on how big the plates at your house are.

One of Discover Magazine's blogs, 80beats, compiled older nutritional charts from the US and compared them to similar charts from other countries, such as the Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top. It's interesting that the basics of nutrition have remained fairly constant across decades and borders, but there are so many ways to present that information.

If the USDA's new picture still has you wondering if your meals are good for you and your family, be sure to check out our books on nutrition and healthy eating.

Bon appetit!

So it's incredibly exciting that the National Academies are making a lot of their information, you guessed it, FREE!

A Resource for Tenants and Landlords

Law Access New Mexico provides landlord and tenant dispute services to all New Mexicans. These services include:

• Landlord and tenants rights and remedies
• Evictions
• Security deposit disputes
• What to do if your utilities are shut off
• Public housing rights and responsibilities
• How to request repairs from your landlord
• Mobile home issues
• Advice for “pro se” cases
• Referrals to other legal services
• Help regardless of citizen status (se habla Español)
• Prerecorded answers to FAQs – 24 hours

These services are provided by law professionals free of charge to residents of New Mexico who earn less than 200% of Federal poverty guidelines and for a small fee for those who earn above these guidelines. Law Access New Mexico is paid in part through fees collected from civil court cases and their service is available to persons statewide. Law Access New Mexico can be reached at (800) 340-9771 or at lawaccess.org.

Learning to Drive

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!

Van of Enchantment

The traveling museum known as the Van of Enchantment will be visiting the Santa Fe Public Library over the next few weeks. The current exhibit is Riding the Rails, exploring both the Santa Fe Trail and the railroads and their effect on New Mexico's development. Exploring the Van of Enchantment is free, open to all ages, and you don't need to register.

The Van will be in the parking lots of the respective libraries between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. The Van will be closed for the lunch hour midday at each location.

The dates of the Van's visit are:

La Farge Library
1730 Llano St.
Tuesday, June 7

Main Library
145 Washington Ave.
Thursday, June 9

Southside Library
6599 Jaguar Dr.
Tuesday, June 14

Fire Restrictions and More:

It's no surprise that New Mexico is experiencing a drought. Now that the weather is encouraging hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities, it might be more confusing about how the drought might affect you. The Public Lands Information Center is a fantastic resource for you to check weather, road conditions, and recreational information for Western states. They also have a special section for Fire News for New Mexico and Arizona, with up-to-date information on fire restrictions and closings for federal and state public lands and how they will affect you. The Center also has a mobile site for when you're already on the road to the backcountry.

So in addition to an extra pair of socks and some ready-to-eat treats, be sure to check out this site before you head for some outdoors fun.
