Welcome! Literacy empowers a community.
Friends of the Library of Rio Rancho encourages support of, and community involvement in, Rio Rancho’s two public libraries serving 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 that funding, by transforming annual memberships, financial donations, and donated new or gently used books into funds for library programming for children and adults and for our Books for Babies program. Community donations and the dedicated efforts of unpaid volunteers and an unpaid board of directors make these funds possible.
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 of thousands of books will be held on June 9th from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Most of our books on sale in the auditorium will be sold as two for one dollar (2/$1)! We will also have for sale our new 30th anniversary commemorative t-shirts for $15 each . Come early for the best selection of fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, craft books, puzzles, and more!
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.”
