The Truchas Library

The Truchas Library began offering services in the 1960's through 1971 on a limited basis. The NM State Library at the time also served the community with the "Red Van Book Mobile Service". In 1972 the building that was formerly the Mission School was converted into what is now the Truchas Library. The library became a full-service public library in 2016 through the NM State Library.

Truchas Library offers services throughout the communities of Truchas, Ojo Sarco, Cordova, Chimayo, and Penasco.   The library offers notary, FAX, copy and research services.  The library has a collection of 10,000 books, plus CDs and DVDs for check out.  There are 8 public computers and WiFi service.
