We are proud to partner with New Mexico Rural Library Initiative (NMRLI) and Moise Memorial Library, in Santa Rosa, for a celebration of the life and legacy of Rudolfo Anaya. The event will feature several readings of Anaya’s work by local authors and SFILF’s donation of more than 100 Anaya books to the library and NMRLI. The prominent and beloved Chicano author had deep ties to Santa Rosa and Puerto de Luna, New Mexico. A longtime patron of the Moise Memorial Library, Anaya described the impact that access to books had on him as a young person: “A library is also a place where love begins.” The author’s desk, typewriter, and other personal items are on permanent display in this library.
