The main branch of the El Paso Public Library system remains a useful source of information, despite the growth of the internet. Conveniently located downtown near the El Paso Convention Center and many other attractions, the library is practical source for local information, periodicals, internet access, and of course, books. Local metered parking available.
Over the last decade, the downtown El Paso area has undergone plenty of revitalization and will eventually be completely revamped under a plan which will see the private and public sector coming together. Even today, the area that surrounds the El Paso Museum of Art and the Canam Highway encloses tons of restaurants, entertainment options and other attractions.
Located in the east end of El Paso, The Fountains at Farah is a great place to spend a day out shopping. This mall has a host of designer boutiques and fashion retail shops for both men and women, grocery stores, home decor shops and restaurants where you can grab a quick bite. This shopping mall is also host to a number of local events as well as live performances throughout the year and is definitely a great place to visit when in the city.
