The CCPL and its Board of Directors are grateful to the members of our community for their use of library services, their involvement in our activities, their generous donations of time, money, and materials.  We are working diligently to acquire funding that will enable us to expand operating hours, services and develop new programs for individuals of all ages. 

We offer a special thanks to the Costilla County Commissioners and their staff, the Superintendents of both Centennial and Sierra Grande Schools and the Director of the Blanca-Ft. Garland Community Center for their partnership in technology and sharing of resources.  We would not be in a position to do as much, …without you!
