CNM Libraries received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Libraries Association entitled Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys. We have received 25 books, four videos, and a one-year subscription to Oxford Islamic Studies Online. We are organizing outreach events to complement our new resources. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend, as is the general public.

Join us at the CNM Montoya Campus this spring as CNM Libraries hosts film screenings and events about the people, places, history, faith and cultures of Muslims in the and around the world.

All events are to be held in Room J-122.
