Located at 208 E. Third Street in Lordsburg, New Mexico, the Lordsburg-Hidalgo County Library is a Pueblo Revival public building constructed in 1936–37 by the Works Progress Administration. The structure features characteristic adobe walls and wooden vigas supporting the roof. Though a women's club founded the library in 1919, it initially operated in borrowed spaces until this permanent building was erected. A New Deal-era oil painting titled *Landscape in Talpa* adorns the interior, a gift upon the library's opening. Today the library holds over 20,000 volumes and remains one of only two county-funded libraries in New Mexico. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
