¿Qué es la Biblioteca de Préstamo de Oaxaca?

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:

​​​​​

​If you can donate a book from our Wish List, please let David Myler from our Book Committee know so we can update the list. David’s email is oaxmyler@gmail.com or you can message him on WhatsApp at (+52) 951 117 4867.  

 

All book donations are welcome and can be left at the Circulation Desk. Donations which are not added to the collection may be offered for sale to the public. Monetary donations to support book purchases can also be left with the Circulation Desk.
