 School Visits: Free Bus Trip
The Friends would like to encourage Santa Fe Public
School children to become acquainted with their public
library. We believe that a library visit can encourage
a lifetime of library use. To fa ciliate the field
trip, the Friends will underwrite bus transportation
for one visit per Santa Fe Public School Elementary
and Middle School class each school year. Directions
for applying for a Free Bus Trip 
 Books
for Babies New Mexico
Books for Babies New Mexico, a partnership between
the Santa Fe Public Library, Friends of the Santa Fe
Public Library and St. Vincent Hospital Foundation,
was created to stress the importance of reading to
children at an early age. Beginning with the first baby
of 2012, every child born in the hospital will
go home with a brightly colored canvas bag containing
a book, a CD of lullabies, an innovative die-cut brochure
on the importance of reading to babies (which can be
folded into a box), an application for a library card,
and information on community resources. Printed on
the side of the bags, soon to be seen all over town: “I
read to my baby every day.” Contributions to purchase
books for the program can be made to the Books for Babies
NM Fund c/o St. Vincent Hospital Foundation, 455 St. Michael’s
Drive, Santa Fe, NM 87505.
