Los Alamos Public Library Hosts Free Smartphone Photography 101 Feb. 26

Los Alamos Public Library will host a free Smartphone Photography 101 workshop Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room at the White Rock Branch Library, 10 Sherwood Blvd, the county announced. The event is listed as free, but Volunteerlosalamos notes that registration is required for the session.

The Feb. 26 workshop is the February installment of the library’s new Discover! series. Volunteerlosalamos describes the program as, "Discover! A new program launching this month for curious minds." Discover! will run on the fourth Thursday of each month, February through October 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the White Rock branch and will offer hands-on, entry-level topics for community members.

The county community announcement that publicized the Feb. 26 session included a truncated leader attribution reading, "county Assist," and did not provide a full instructor name or title. Volunteerlosalamos likewise does not name an instructor for the Feb. 26 session. A separate Instagram post cites a "Phone Photography class led by The Art Table from 3 to 5 p.m. March 21," but that March 21 item differs in date and time and is not explicitly linked to the Discover! session; the Instagram snippet does not specify location or year and therefore should not be conflated with the Thursday evening workshop.

Practical details for attendees: the workshop will take place in the White Rock Branch multipurpose room at 10 Sherwood Blvd; the Los Alamos Public Library system also operates Mesa Public Library at 2400 Central Ave in Los Alamos. Volunteerlosalamos instructs readers to "Check our Events calendar for every program we offer:" for registration and additional program listings, but the announcement excerpts provided do not include a registration link, phone number, or deadline for the Feb. 26 class.

The Discover! launch sits alongside ongoing library programming. Volunteerlosalamos lists Music & Movement at the main library three times a week - Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 9:30 a.m., prior to the main library opening at 10:00 a.m. Family Storytime occurs at the main library on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. and Saturdays at 10:15 a.m., and at the White Rock branch on Wednesdays at 10:15 a.m. The library frames its broader mission with the statement, "Our Mission is to enrich our unique community with excellent customer service, knowledgeable staff, dedicated partnerships, welcoming spaces, and diverse resources."

The Discover! series will continue monthly through October 2026; organizers describe the White Rock branch sessions as entry-level and hands-on. Because public notices for the Feb. 26 session did not identify a full instructor name and provided no registration link, prospective attendees should consult the library’s events calendar or contact Los Alamos Public Library for instructor confirmation and registration instructions before arriving.
