Breakfast New Mexico Style: A Fancy, Funky, and Family Friendly Dining Guide to New Mexico Restaurants is now available!

Authors Valerie Nye and Kathy Barco are serving up a second helping of breakfast in a new book that features over 100 restaurants from Carlsbad to Aztec and Tucumcari to Silver City. Kathy and Valerie enlisted the help of a statewide network of 35 librarians to research the best places for you to have the first meal of the day. The book is published by Sunstone Press and is currently available in New Mexico bookstores and through online booksellers everywhere.
