The State Library has just compiled the 2009-2010 Regional Report to New Mexico Legislators. The report is designed to give legislators an overview of the services that we directly provide to residents, rural populations, state agencies, the visually impaired, and students and citizens conducting research. Please note the reports are in an easy to print PDF version, each representing a region in the state (e.g., northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast). Each report also contains a regional map indicating the location of public libraries that the State Library serves.
