The Library has a large collection of books covering the history, geography, geology, art, and photography of the Southwest, including stories about the settling of Questa and the San Luis Valley. We also feature biographies and fiction of the southwest. Other categories covered are women’s studies, poetry, drama, mysteries, popular and literary fiction, and nonfiction.
We are constantly adding to our collection, so if you don’t find something you want to read, just ask. We participate in interlibrary loan and can obtain specific books from other libraries in the state.

Programs
The Library sponsors book readings, discussions, and musical programs; the dates and times for scheduled programs are listed on the Programs page.
Used Book Sales
As we purchase materials and receive donations, room needs to be made for more books. We use a process called “weeding” to remove old, dirty, or never-been-checked-out books. In areas where information changes quickly, we weed aggressively. These books and duplicates end up for sale.
Currently, we are selling hardback books for $1 and paperbacks for 50¢! There are great bargains waiting for you to snap up.
Most used children’s books are free. Look for the box in the children’s area. Adult sale materials are in the book case near the entrance door.
Watch for information about the next event.
Book Club
Questa Book Club meets every 3rd Monday 3-5pm. “Join the conversation”.
The Dropped Stitch
Dropped Stitch is an informal group of Fiber Arts enthusiasts doing knitting and crocheting among other things. We meet at the Library every Thursday at 2:30 pm to knit, crochet, sew, and catch up with local news. This group personifies the role of the Questa Public Library as a social center as well as a learning center.
