IMPORTANT NOTICE

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library will operate under the following schedule:

Monday – Thursday: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday and Saturday: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sunday: Closed

This change in hours is due in part to budget reductions in the City of Las Cruces budget for fiscal year 2026-2027, beginning July 1. This change will also allow for realignment of staff and resources to better serve our community. Library staff remain committed to serving our community and appreciate the ongoing support as we adapt to these changes.
