As an advocate for quality of life improvements, the Las Cruces Green Chamber of Commerce has partnered with member Friends of the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library to bring you informational videos about the impact of the GO bond and how that will improve our precious library.

Today, on this final installment of a 4 part series, LCGCC CEO/President Carrie Hamblen talks Lynda St. Clair, President of the Friends of the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library and Sarah Booth, Deputy Director/Quality of Life/Las Cruces Public Libraries.

Carrie, Lynda and Sarah talk about how the library has grown and adapted its programs and services to meet the growing community, the addition of a Maker Space, and how the GO bond will improve and expand the Maker Space for the community to utilize more at the Library.
