Mexico City - Libraries
We recommend that you contact your Embassy and enquire whether they have a library that you can use.
Interesting fact: The English word "Library" is translated into Spanish as 'Biblioteca'; the English word "Bookstore" is translated into Spanish as 'Libreria'. Therefore, a Libreria is not the same as a Library.
