The new Artesia Public Library is a 26,000 square foot building which replaced the former library. The building includes a flying roof over the reading rooms, a teen room, and a separate children’s reading room and theater area with stage lighting. Exterior finishes include masonry and metal panels.
A unique feature of this building is the curved sixteen by forty six foot Peter Hurd mural that has been re-located from its former home in Houston, Texas. A large curtain wall at the main reading room of the library allows the mural, The Future Belongs to Those Who Prepare For It, to be seen from Main Street when the building is lit at night.

Modern buildings are still built with old tools. Like integrity.
Eighty years is more than a milestone. It’s a testament to the resilience and craftsmanship of generations of Jaynes employees. It’s also a testament to the Jaynes community in the Southwest. Since 1946, Jaynes has built more than structures; we’ve built schools where futures begin, hospitals where healing takes place, and workplaces that drive innovation. Most meaningfully, Jaynes has built lasting relationships with owners, communities, and each other. This defines the Jaynes Way.
