Grab & Go Book Bags for Children
Miss browsing the library shelves for great children’s books? The Rio Rancho Public Libraries are here to help! Fill out a form describing what you’re looking for (such as favorite topics, types of books, and grade level), and the librarians will personally select up to six books for you to check out. This service is designed for three age groups: 0-6 years old, 6-12 years old, and 13-19 years old. Library staff will call to schedule a pickup appointment when the Grab & Go Book Bag is ready.

Print and Pick Up Service by Appointment
Patrons can send an email message with the documents attached to askalibrarian@rrnm.gov, and a Rio Rancho Public Libraries staff member will set up an appointment for pick up. In addition to attaching the document itself, please include the following details in the email message: number of copies needed, black-and-white or color, the name of the person picking up the documents, and the library (Loma Colorado Main Library or Esther Bone Memorial Library) where the documents will be picked up.
