I'm surprised too since I had not realized the Hastings closed up shop last fall after serving Alamogordo with books and other media for many years. Same goes for Wally's Paperback Exchange. Here's an article on the Hasting's loss to the community:
My favorite book store, especially for hard to find books on local subjects, is located on the Plaza in Old Mesilla. It's got all the ambiance of an old fashioned book store - mustiness included.
Another great bookstore in the Cruces area is Coas Books, which has been located on Main Street/the Downtown Mall in Las Cruces for decades. Also really terrific for hard-to-find local interest books, especially history, anthropology and archaeology.
Joqua, was that Bowlin's book store you were talking about?
Yes, but I've never known it by that name. Can't miss it as it's the only books store on the plaza. Lots of other wonderful stores, restaurants etc. worthy of a visit, so you can't go wrong by walking into the wrong place!
Quoting from the article: "In addition to preparing for future testing, he says the project will result in construction jobs."
