The article discusses the construction of the Zimmerman Library at the University of New Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, named after UNM President James F. Zimmerman. It notes that the project, which ran from 1936 to 1938, was funded by the U.S. Public Works Administration (PWA) in the New Deal. The author comments on the library's architect, John Gaw Meem, and the library's Spanish-Pueblo Revival style. Other topics include the library's book stacks, furnishings, and murals by artist Kenneth Miller Adams.
