For more than 50 years the Biblioteca Pública (Public Library), considered one of the best bilingual libraries in Mexico, has served the community of San Miguel. Aside from its holdings of more than 60,000 volumes in Spanish, English, German or French and its many lecture, film and theater events, the library grants scholarships to young students and offers cultural activities. |
