Welcome!
Literacy empowers a community. Friends of the Library of Rio Rancho encourage support of, and community involvement in, Rio Rancho’s two public libraries that serve over 100,000 people within the Greater Rio Rancho area.
Contrary to public perception and due to budget constraints, the City does not fund library programs, such as musicians, speakers, and summer reading programs for children or adults. The Friends provide the funding, by transforming annual memberships, donations, and donated new or gently used books into funds for our Books for Babies program and library programming for children and adults. This is achieved through the dedicated efforts of unpaid volunteers and an unpaid board of directors.
Gently used books —at significant discounts— are always on sale in our two stores.
Our giant “mega” sales are regularly held on the second Saturday of every month in the auditorium of Loma Colorado Main Library, 755 Loma Colorado Dr NE, Rio Rancho. Admission is free. Free parking is available at this library.
Our next mega sale will be held on March 10th from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Come early for the best selection of fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, craft books, puzzles, and more! Most of our books that will be on sale in the auditorium will be sold as two for one dollar (2/$1)!
We will gladly email you a sale reminder approximately one week before each of our mega sales. (We do not sell, rent, or share our email lists.) Just complete the sign-up form below, and then click “Submit.”
