At your Capitan Public Library check out the New Mexico FamilyPass for FREE access to State Museums/Historic Sites

Don't forget the value of FamilyPass created by the Department of Cultural Affairs and New Mexico State Library special for the public libraries across the state.

Recently our library director, Paulette Arnone, used the New Mexico FamilyPass at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe on Saturday, March 23.  With the free entrance by using the FamiyPass, her family and friends save over $100 for a guided tour.  They found the visit to the museum to be educational and an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon.  When returning the pass, they thanked the Capitan Public Library for providing this wonderful service.
