Erna Fergusson Library

Sad that the homeless frequent the library as if it's their hotel lounge area. Besides that, it's the multiple book check out for me. Coupled with the easy returns

Thank you to the lady who did music and reading books for us on last Wednesday June 14th 2023. There was no other kids but just my 2 kids and my friend's kid. Even though just 3 kids, she still gave us her time and was so patient with our kids too. They also have so many good toys to play for kids.

I just want to say thank you very, VERY much to the folks at the Montgomery Park branch Erna Fergusson of the Albuquerque Public Library! I was in Albuquerque earlier this month and needed to check my email, as I’d been out of internet range for the past week. I stopped in the library and inquired about the procedures for using the public computers. All the staff were extremely friendly; they were very hospitable and explained that anyone who carried an Albuquerque public library card could use the PCs at no charge, and the application for a library card was quick and easy. Within minutes, they had processed my application and I had a library card in hand! I was able to log on to a PC and go through all my emails both for work and home within an hour. It was such a relief to reconnect to the outside world while I had some free time, and take care of a few projects that needed to be done before I returned home. The librarians were very conscientious and reminded me that, since I was using a public computer, they did not recommend I access any extremely private information such as a bank account. I appreciated their thoughtfulness in helping me protect my identity. The library itself is an extremely welcoming space, with a glass front entryway and wide areas for bookshelves and reading tables. Its location is perfect for a neighborhood library: just off a main street, a block from a lovely park, and next to a senior activity center. I have always loved libraries, and this experience is just one of many pleasant hours I’ve spent within their walls. Thank you, Erna Fergusson Public Library, for your hospitality and your wonderful environment!

We love this library. The staff is amazing and they offer so many helpful services to all walks of life. Even though it's no longer our home library, it's still one of our favorites to visit.

The librarians are SOO SLOW HERE. When you request a book to be put on hold, even when the book is at the library, it takes the library over 24 hours to put the On hold. And sometimes they dress like slobs!

Libraries are always the best. Sometimes there are screaming babies, it can't be helped. But this one is open all the time, or almost all the time, has excellent giant letters out front, open great hours, and has plenty of computers, sitting, and bicycle parking spots. LOVE IT!!! 6/5 Stars, Yo!

Disgusting. The place is crawling with vagrants from open to close. The library is filled with them and their refuse. They drag in piles of garbage, spread it all over every table and chair and just stay there the entire day. Drugged out or drunk, they stumble around vomiting and passing out on the furniture, which isn't cleaned at all, by the way. Then they get a nice taxpayer-funded ambulance ride to the hospital before they come back the next day to do it again. I feel like I'm running a low grade fever just being near the place. I've seen nicer bathrooms in a 7/11. The abuse of this library and others is absolutely beyond belief. I really can't believe people bring children here.

As far as libraries go in ABQ this one is my favorite. Not as many problems that others have.

Great staff. Really helpful place. Computers are usually available for the most part.

I love this library. I've been coming since ive been in elementary and now I do my homework for college here. The issue is the amount of homeless outside and inside the location. Sometimes it makes me feel unsafe. Still staff is amazing. Thank you for all your hard work
