The Public Library of San Miguel de Allende A.C. is one of the most visited places in the city, where year after year we had an average of around 45,000 visitors before the pandemic. Currently, the environment in which we are living and developing day by day makes us face changes.
Resulting from the current pandemic situation that the city in general is experiencing and therefore also the Public Library, some activities that are carried out within the library areas were reconsidered, with the intention of improving and continuing with the fulfillment of our mission as a library,
In 2020, the library had to close its doors, leaving behind more than 20 workshops that were held throughout the week for the general public.
After waiting for this new opening, our workshops reopened their doors on September 20, 2021, starting with some workshops such as Lee with your baby guitar, computer science for children, youth, and adults, literary creation, chess, and English among others. All the workshops that are currently taught carry out sanitation measures as identified by civil protection.
After seeking to open our workshops, some of the volunteers decided to begin to be able to transmit their knowledge to the entire San Miguel community. Most of the workshops offered by the Public Library are free for all the general public children, youth, and adults; and some others charge only a small recovery fee from the instructor.
In order to register for our free workshops, the only requirement is to obtain library membership, which will give you the right to have a place in the workshops once the call has come out as long as there is still availability in them.
Starting in January, we will have some of the workshops of the aforementioned piano, choir, conversations in Spanish, and dance.
We thank the community for waiting for our workshops to resume. We always listen and take into account their comments or suggestions.
