Help Us Maintain a High-Quality Collection – Donate a Book from our Wish List!
The Oaxaca Lending Library, through its Book Committee, works hard to carefully select materials in English and Spanish for all age groups to meet the needs of the entire community we serve.
The collection includes current bestsellers and award-winning literature. Non-fiction titles focus on Mexican archaeology, art, history and travel, with an emphasis on Oaxaca. English and Spanish language learning materials are an important part of the collection. We also have books for children, from toddlers to teens. (To learn more about our collection guidelines, please click here.)
Some important additions to the collection are difficult to obtain in Oaxaca and these books are added to our Wish List (below). Click on this link to jump down to the latest OLL Book Wish List:
