Support the Public Library!

The 2023 New Mexico Legislative session is underway and there are two issues important to the Public Library in this session: Capital Outlay Requests and sales tax on digital items.

​

• State sales tax on digital items. Senate Bill 147 is a clean-up bill. It includes a fix to an unintended consequence of previous tax legislation that impacts public libraries--state sales tax applied to digital items purchased to loan to the public. Please contact your State Senator and ask them to support Senate Bill 147 and stop taxing digital items!

​

• Capital Outlay Requests. There are twelve requests for Capital Outlay funding for Public Library buildings all over the City. Please ask your State Legislators to support as many as possible. See the full list here on the CAPITAL OUTLAY REQUETS page.

Check out more information about how the Library is funded on our FUNDING page.
