Libraries & Literacy
Reading opens doors — to new worlds, new ideas, and new possibilities for our children and families. At McCurdy Campus, we're proud to offer accessible ways for the community to discover books, build literacy skills, and fall in love with reading, right here in the Española Valley.
Enchanted Forest of Reading Children's Library
Step into the Enchanted Forest of Reading, the children's library tucked inside KIDSPACE on McCurdy Campus. With shelves full of stories waiting to be discovered, it's a place where young readers can explore, imagine, and fall in love with books.
Visit Us
The Enchanted Forest is open to the community every Friday morning, 9:00am – 12:00pm. Come browse, read, and let your child's imagination run wild.
Bring Your Group
Have a class, playgroup, or organization that would love to explore the Enchanted Forest? We'd be happy to open our doors for you. Just reach out with your preferred date and time, and we'll do our best to make it happen.
Little Free Libraries on McCurdy Campus
Little Free Libraries are scattered across McCurdy Campus, offering neighbors and visitors a simple way to discover new stories any time of day. Stop by, browse the shelves, and take home a book that catches your eye — then bring one back to share with the next reader.
This tradition traces back to 2009, when Todd H. Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin, built a small "take a book, return a book" box in honor of his mother, a lifelong educator and reader. That simple idea grew into a global network of Little Free Libraries found in neighborhoods, schools, and parks around the world (click here to find one near you) — and we're grateful to be part of it here on campus.
