The City of Santa Fe Presents it's Summer Reading Program! Don't miss out!
Registration Opens May 25 - Please see the attached flyer for more information!
The Santa Fe Public Library is excited to invite toddlers, children, and youth up to 17 years of age to participate in “All Together Now,” their 2023 Summer Reading Program! Registration opens on Thursday, May 25, and the program will run through June and July.
Children may read independently or be read to by adults and older children. Reading library books, personal books, e-books, and listening to audiobooks all count toward earning prizes. Reading minutes can be tracked by hand or via the Library’s Beanstack portal, which allows participants to log minutes and earn digital badges throughout the program.
The Library will hold a variety of programs and events related to Summer Reading over the upcoming months. Visit the Library’s website or any Library location to learn more and sign up when registration opens!
All Together Now is sponsored by the Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library and the New Mexico State Library.

Film Prize Junior New Mexico is a new initiative from the creators of the award-winning Louisiana Film Prize and Film Prize Junior Louisiana in partnership with the Stagecoach Foundation. Film Prize Junior is a student short film competition for middle and high school students across the state of New Mexico.
For this competition, educators and students work together to create a concept, write a story, and produce and edit a short film with help from our team members and film mentors. If an entrant to our festival makes it through our competition, we showcase their short film at our film festival. Furthermore, entries can qualify for huge prizes including equipment grants for the schools, scholarships for the students and cash rewards for the educators!

Multiple school districts throughout the state have received social media threats against schools. SFPS and SFPD are taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety at our schools. The City of Santa Fe and SFPD are working directly with the FBI on the threat, which appears to be a hoax. There is no immediate threat towards any SFPS school.
