La Biblioteca de San Agustinillo San Agustinillo, Oaxaca

La Biblioteca de San Agustinillo.   "Las cuatro amigas", with the help of the town of San Agustinillo, have opened a library in the picturesque village on the Oaxacan coast. The library is located near the center of town in the Casa Municipal on highway 200.
The library is free for all local residents and available to tourists. We are funded by donations so we ask tourists to "rent" their books. It's a charge of one peso per day. The library is stocked with almost 4000 books. Some 2000 are in Spanish, 1500 in English, and 500 are mostly French and German but include Hebrew, Danish, Swedish, Italian and Japanese. (8/04)
In addition to loaning books the library is also a center for the children of San Agustinillo. A class in English and a pen pal program with schoolchildren in Chicago are two of the activities por los niños de San Agustinillo.
We invite all those visiting the area to stop in, rent reading material or donate their finished books to La Biblioteca de San Agustinillo. We are especially in need of Spanish language books and, of course, cash donations are greatly appreciated and sorely needed.
Presently the library is open afternoons from 2 pm to 6 pm and closed on Sundays.
