“Let’s have a pizza party!” gifts for Sierra County families

Thomas Branigan Memorial Library in Las Cruces will reduce its open hours starting July 1 due to budget cuts. The new schedule reflects both financial constraints and efforts toward better resource allocation. Digital resources remain accessible outside of library hours.

Las Cruces police will conduct a sobriety checkpoint and saturation patrol in the next three weeks. Officers aim to deter impaired driving while also enforcing other traffic safety laws. Residents are encouraged to use safe transportation options if consuming alcohol.

Las Cruces will operate several cooling stations this week due to forecasted high temperatures in the area. City officials urge residents—especially those most vulnerable—to take precautions against heat-related illnesses.
