English language library

[gary]

I have a big box of mostly English-language books I'd like to donate to the library. Does someone know the exact address and their hours.

Gary,

I've never been to the library myself, but a while 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)."

After I posted the above on this forum, Raquelita responded that the library might not open till about 10:00. She also said that if you're going by bus, you should "look for one that says Pueblito de Rocha. Ask the driver to make sure it goes to the Centro Recreativo Encino."

Gary, please let us all know what you find out. I've been thinking of dropping by there myself one of these days, but I can't even be sure that it's still open.

Don
