Main Public Library

They do a book sale on the 2nd Saturday of every month and you can fill a bag for $6. Totally worth it, lots of options including dvds and books on disc.
Just a caution lots of homeless people in the area as well, we didn't have any issues, but just in case you're nervous.

Dang this library is awesome and The Friends of the Library org that holds a book/LP/DVD sale on certain Saturdays is really an amazing organization for ABQ to have. I am grateful and I'm sure all who attended are grateful. I got 4 graphic novels for 75c each. It was a great day at the ABQ Main Library. Thank you to all who make it work!

Nice & quiet. A place my mother used to bring me growing up. I would walk here from Barelas. I enjoyed the children's area, there story time and of course the books.

Always great times at the library and great books and more to bring home

Librarians are friendly & helpful. Especially love I can make cheap copies here.

Very nice library!! They have computers there to use, get copies. The Lady up front was Very Helpful!! Highly recommend!! They do charge for copies though. Reasonable prices though.

Best library in town. Staff are great and security even better. No judgement zone is what this library should be called.

I barely go to the library and it showed by my big stack of fees from a couple of long-forgotten books, but the librarians were so nice and helpful, the place is nice and clean, and i like to utilize the printer in an age it's too expensive to buy my own so they'll always get a good rating from me - i just couldn't tell you anything about the book selection. love the natural plants and ambience!

Great groups for kids! My teenage daughter started one recently and it was fantastic and she had a blast! The staff were friendly and helpful.

Big open Library. We went to the children's area downstairs in the afternoon on a Thursday and no one was there. It was awesome! They even have public bathrooms in the children's area that are only for kids and their parents, so they are safer and cleaner! Good selection of books and DVDs.

It's an historic library and I think the first one ever built in Albuquerque.

Wonderful kids section with toys and books

Awesome branch of an amazing library system! The people who work here are excellent and always willing to help you out with any questions you may have! Plus there are always amazing displays to look at and learn from. Also has an excellent genealogical section that covers more than just New Mexico.

Nice friendly staff. Great at following Covid precautions. Bi-level. Free two parking in garage kitty corner. Easy to pick up holds. Computer use limiting amount to provide generous space. Nice atmosphere.

The staff are excellent and really nice, and they get in new stuff all the time. There are transients, but they generally leave others alone and not get in anyone's way. Lots of public computers, and they also loan out passes to museums around town. All in all a really good place.

I am a regular visitor to the Tony Hillerman branch and my experiences have always been fruitful and pleasant.

Today, I had an extraordinarily nice response when I called to the information desk at the Main Library. I had been unable to find an answer myself. They searched and then recommended I call special collections. I did and got a prompt, informative answer to my question. I had asked for whom Hurley Park in Albuquerque had been named. The initial phone receptionist, the young woman at the information line, and at special collections were ALL pleasant, helpful and eager to help answer my question. My thanks to each of you. I was WOWED at this wonderful example of customer (citizen) service.

Went for the first to do research in the genealogy department and the staff was wonderful! And the volunteer who helped me was absolutely so kind and helpful! Thank you!

Very nice staff! No pets, service animals only.

Large, spacious and attractive library. Also, check out the once a month book sale. Picture is $6 worth of books and movies I picked up today!

Great place to learn
