Special Recollections: The Story of the Old Main Library,1925-2025 - Documentary Premiere
The Public Library Albuquerque and Bernalillo County now serves more than 650,000 people at 19 different locations, covering the city and county from end to end. But the sprawling system had its humble beginning in 1925 at the Old Main Library at Edith Boulevard and Central Avenue. The distinctive Pueblo Revival-style building served as the hub of the public library system until it was replaced in 1975 with the New Main Library downtown. After undergoing renovations, the landmark building, now known as Special Collections, re-opened in 1978 and continues to serve the public with an emphasis on local history and culture. Celebrate its 100th anniversary and learn about the history from former staff and patrons in the new film Special Recollections: The Story of the Old Main Library —1925-2025.
