General Library

Picture
The Pueblo of Isleta Public Library holds materials to serve Isleta and the surrounding communities.  The library system contains more than 5,000 books and periodicals on all subjects and interests for all patrons.  The library is situated within the Department of Education building and consists of the General Library, the Children Area, the Teen Section, the Arts & Crafts Workroom and a Conference Room.

Teen Section

Picture
This area is separated from the General Library and is dedicated to all Teens and Young Adults.  It's a space to allow Teens to discuss or concentrate on homework and projects.  It gives them a sense of privacy but yet an open feeling through the large windows that separate it from the public aspect of the library. 

Children Corner

Picture
The Childrens Area is loaded with a fun and exciting collection of books, magazines, and other materials selected  for children from birth through age 10.  This area is also open to parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone with an interest in children's literature.  We encourage to promote reading, teach a love of books, and encourage kids and their families to come to the library!

Services & Programs Offered

Picture
After School Homework Program provides homework assistance for grades Kindergarten through 12th grade at no cost and available each day anytime afterschool.  Library Staff is on site to help tutor and supervise on any subject as well as assist with computer skills and literacy skills.  Students are required to finish any homework or do 30 minutes of reading before allowed to log on to computers or play the Xbox 360 and Wii U.  An incentive snack is also provided to students who finish their homework or reading.  Please review our policies which indicate important topics such as pick up time of students.  Parents or guardians must fill out an emergency contact form in case of closures or emergencies at the Library.  Click here to download the registration form and register your child today!

Incentive programs occur every other month which our afterschool program students are encouraged to participate and earn required points to attend a field trip.  Past field trips were to Itz, Hinkle Family Fun Center, Balloon Fiesta, Natural History Museum, Paintball park, Cliff's and many more.  Points are earned by completing homework or reading 30 minutes.  For the most current incentive program, please call the library for more information.

Summer Reading Program is held annually at the Library.  It is generally a six week program that begins after the last school is released for summer and ends approximately a week before the next school year begins.  Each year the program is constructed around a different theme.  Past themes have been focused around Isleta culture, cultures around the world, and theater.  We have two sessions for two age groups.  The first is our Toddler Program for those children from ages 3 to 6.  They attend from 9:00am-12:00pm.  Our afternoon program is for the Youth from ages 7 to 18.  Their program is from 1:00pm to 4:30pm.

Each week the students learn, create, and engage in an activity based upon the topic of the week.  There will be various field trips sporadically throughout the program.  Students are required to read for 20 minutes daily and fill out a reading log.  For the students in the Toddler Program, a story will be read to them.  Aside from the daily reading logs, students can participate in a Book Report Challenge.  This challenge requires students to read a chapter book of their reading level and complete a book report form.  At the end of the program, the top three students with the most book reports win prizes.  Our prizes are chosen by the students which have been items such as a 32" HD TV, Nook Tablet, iPod Touch, Nintendo DSi, and a digital camera.

This past year the library has collaborated with the Bernalillo County Summer Lunch Program to provide free sack lunches for students ages 1 to 18.  This is for students throughout the community.  For those students who are in the program, Toddlers receive their lunch after the program is over and the Youth receive their lunch before their program time begins.

Our annual Summer Program is highly anticipated each year.  We have limited space; therefore we only accept the first 20 toddlers and the first 30 youth participants.  These spaces are filled quickly, so please be aware of registration dates.  For more information about our Rules and Policies please contact us.
