The library was a WPA (Works Project Administration) building. The cornerstone was laid on December 7, 1936, and the building was completed in August 1937. The original building housed the library (front), the Health Department, and the Justice of the Peace. The Aztec-Pueblo style is pleasing and unique. It is designated a Historic Building on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places. The adobe wall around the library is even older, dating back to the Hidalgo County Courthouse Park, built in the 1920s. In 1988, 12 pioneer families donated the stained glass windows in the lobby atrium and the children's room.

Today, the library houses more than 22,000 volumes and occupies the entire building. It also features special collections of Reference, Southwest, Spanish, Children's, Grant Writing, Literacy, and Audio-Visual. It is one of only two libraries in the state which derives its primary funding from a county. It has also been supported by the city of Lordsburg and donations from private citizens and grants.
