The library may not seem like a bucket list item on your Mexico vacation, but perhaps you’ll make an exception for the Biblioteca Publica de San Miguel de Allende.
Steeped in historic significance, the library started in the 1950s, when a Canadian ex-pat welcomed local children to read the magazines in her home. More and more visitors started coming, until finally, a few years later, the library had to move to a larger building just north of El Jardin, where it currently lives today.
Its shelves are stocked with bilingual books and other media, and the library often hosts free classes for kids on a variety of subjects. Not only that, the library is home to the Santa Ana Theater, which hosts international films and various concerts.
If you’re in the market for an English-speaking tour guide to enrich your sightseeing, the library is a good place to start.
Address: Insurgentes #25, Zona Centro, 37700 San Miguel de Allende, Gto.
