October is Adopt a Shelter Animal Month

The Santa Fe Public Library’s Main Branch is teaming up with the Santa Fe Humane Society to help shelter animals in need.

You can purchase the items and deliver them to the Humane Society, 100 Caja Del Rio Road, or to the Main Library now until Wednesday, October 31st:

Friday and Saturday 10am – 6pm
