Westside Library - El Paso Public Library

On December 22, Santa visited the library! First, we read stories with Mrs. Carmen, then Santa arrived with his elves and gave out a present to every child that came to see him. Not only was there Santa, but Papa John's brought us pizza for the Holiday party! After meeting with Santa, families made glittery snowflakes. Wish you were here!

In order to raise money for the new Westside Library, the Friends of the Library held a book sale at the Thunderbird Bowling Alley in December of 1977. Read more here: El Paso Herald-Post 15 December 1977

The Westside Branch Library was first opened on Saturday, December 9, 1978. The library was run out of a trailer in the Westside Park Recreational area. It had one librarian, Margaret Burlingame, and two assistants, Grace Medrano and Ivo Gomez. The library was funded through used book sales from the Friends of the Westside Library.

On December 1, the library had a Winterfest program. We made snowman ornaments and lots of "Holiday Slime!" It was ooey-gooey fun! Wish you were there! Check out our upcoming programs online at the website calendar .
