Caroline E. Stras Research Room
to be Dedicated October 19
The grand-reopening and naming event for the Caroline E. Stras Research Room,
formerly the Library’s Archives & Special Collections Research Room, will be held on
Friday, October 19, from 4 to 6 p.m. on the fourth floor of Branson Library. This
gala event will celebrate the legacy of Caroline E. Stras of El Paso, who retired in
1978 as Senior Vice President of Operations at the Bank of El Paso. A presentation
on Stras will be held from 4 to 5 p.m., followed by a wine and cheese reception.
Caroline E. Stras was the daughter of Jouett Fall Elliott and Brant Elliott and the
granddaughter of Albert B. Fall. She was the first woman vice president of a bank
in El Paso, beginning in the late 1950s. In many ways, she broke down gender
barriers in the banking industry.
In November 2005, Edward, Jo Ann and Judith Sears created the Caroline Stras
Endowed Fund for the New Mexico State University Library. The endowment will
reach $100,000 within five years. The income will be used to support the acquisi-tion
and preservation of collections in Women's Studies at the NMSU Library in
honor of the achievements of Caroline E. Stras. For more information, please con-tact
the Archives staff at (505) 646-3839.

A reading festival to be held throughout October will see the residents of Doña Ana
County avidly reading and discussing the same book, the classic New Mexican novel
Bless Me, Última by Rudolfo Anaya. The month-long Big Read will include a rich
schedule of programs, book discussion groups, readings, music and dance perfor-mances,
film screenings, contests and other events and activities showcasing Anaya’s
work and the culture it describes. All events are free and open to the public.
Kickoff Event 1, to be held on Friday, October 5, at 7 p.m. at the Court Youth Center
in Las Cruces, will feature an inspiring keynote address on the power of reading to
change lives by award-winning poet Jimmy Santiago Baca of Albuquerque. The
Ballet Folklorico de la Tierra del Encanto will open the show.
The vibrant musical group Cipriano Vigil y Familia of El Rito will perform at the Rio
Grande Theatre in Las Cruces for Kickoff Event 2 on Saturday, October 6, at 3 p.m.
