re library - dianagoodz - 01-31-2011
Went to the library today. It was open. We went at noon on a Monday. It is at the back of the school building. There is a Spanish library and the English one is behind it. Large selection of thrilled and action books. I have been going for the past three years and there are not many new titles, but sufficient. To return any books, just leave them on the desk at the entrance.

High Diana. Don posted the message copied below (in red). Is this the library you refer to? If not please give directions. --Doyle
If you're looking for an English-language library, there is one on the outskirts. I haven't been there myself, but a few months ago I copied the following directions from somewhere:
"The English Library is open to all, no library cards, no card catalog. Come and take home what you want, return and donate books whenever the spirit moves you.
The Library occupies a room in the Guanajuato library, which is part of the Casa de la Cultura in Encino (along the street from Comercial Mexicana to the Plaza de Toros, starting out as Tepetapa but assuming a variety of different names along the way). Hours 9-4 Mon-Fri. A sign indicates that a 3-peso admissions fee is required, but just say you're going to the Biblioteca and the welcome will be warm.
Directions: Take any Marfil bus in front of the Del Sol department store, across (more or less) from Mercado Hidalgo. The bus stops directly in front of the Encino center at the basketball court which is part of it. (A few stops past the Momias Museum)."

"... I have been going for the past three years and there are not many new titles"
Although I do not go very often - maybe 3-4 times in the 15 years I have been here one should remember that borrowers should also be donors. Two years ago I contributed around 1000 books when Gary and Lalin were overseeing the operation in the former location.
