The University of New Mexico Centennial Library will be temporarily closed from Oct. 11 to Oct. 13 because UNM Facilities Management will be replacing sewer lines in the surrounding area.

According to Karl Benedict, an associate professor and director of Research Data services at UNM libraries, there was a water leak during the week of Sept. 22. The leak impacted staff and faculty offices.

Get a clue: Centennial Library launches Mystery Room

Ahmad Yar Ranjha | September 16

The University of New Mexico Centennial Library has created the Mystery Room series to invoke interest and educate library users about its resources and services. The purpose of the two-event series is to educate new students on how to find information and locate library resources on specific topics, time periods and important scholars. There will be one on Sept. 20 and Oct. 4. “In the Mystery Room, students find out what happened to a missing scholar by solving puzzles and finding clues. During the game they’ll learn about the way information is presented as well as get to know some of UNM’s librarians and meet other students,” said the event organizer Glenn Koelling, who is an assistant professor and learning service librarian.

Physical Plant Department changes name

Ahmad Yar Ranjha | September 9

The Physical Plant Department at the University of New Mexico has changed its name to Facilities Management because the management of the department believes that the term Physical Plant does not describe them and their services accurately. The name change initiative is in line with UNM’s overall marketing initiative of rebranding itself and expanding its outreach, including a recent upgrade to its logo.

Les Bears (1991) is a sculpture that sits outside of the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, one of the many places to visit during the hot summer days.

Fire dangers limit hiking options around Albuquerque

Ahmad Yar Ranjha | June 26

The long dry spell across the state of New Mexico, and recent massive wildfires in the north of the state, have forced authorities in Bernalillo County to raise danger levels to stage-II in many areas and close most of the hiking trails and other picnicking areas in Mountainair, Sandia, Magdalena and Mount Taylor Ranger Districts. The stage-II of danger level, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture, is when “fires start from most causes and spread rapidly”. Donna Nemeth, the Cibola National Forest and National Grasslands public affairs officer, said “all hiking trails are closed except for 365-Foothills Trail and Tijeras Pueblo Administrative Site trail.”
