Juan José Arreola Public Library — Attraction in Jalisco

I absolutely loved coming to this local library not far from where I was staying.

As a kid, I always drove by this place and wondered what it was, but never in a million years did I think it was a library. I finally had the chance to come and see the inside and pay it a visit.

One thing I noticed before entering the building was that it is quite large. The diorama on the wall said there were 7 stories to it, each one containing different kinds of books and literatures. The bottom floor houses a bookstore with an array of genres to choose from and even merchandise sold by the local university. They also had a cafe in the very corner of the bookstore.

I continued to go up each level of the building and found the library's collection to be astounding, as they seemed to have books for every single subject and topic possible. They even had a floor dedicated only to books in foreign languages such as English, French and Mandarin.

It was really quiet in here as well and made for a peaceful place to come and reflect,...

Great place, the collection of books is good... And if you are the ones looking for a place to stay, read and relax this is it! It's kind of sad that people doesn't come to visit the library... Sometimes the chairs are dusty.

They also have a self-learning area for languages.

Ohhh WiFi (FEB 2018) are not available... Yeahp. That's bad. They used to have open wifi connections... Hope they change...

Es un lugar muy completo y amplio, me gusta mucho venir a estudiar, otorga demasiadas facilidades, baños limpios con agua y papel, lockers, puedes ingresar agua natural en una botella cerrada, áreas limpias con alfombra, uso de computadora con acceso a Internet, conexion para cargar tu teléfono, cafetería, abre todos los días y más beneficios. Pero lo único que no me gusta es que la mayoría de su población entre semana es de 15 a 20 años de edad quien en su mayoría acuden a jugar en las computadoras y platicar lo que hace que se pierda el silencio y concentración, me ha costado mucho trabajo encontrar un sitio en la biblioteca para poder estudiar sin interrupción o he tenido que moverme del lugar porque llegan haciendo ruido y se molestan si se les pide silencio. Ojalá puedan asignar un área para los chicos donde se relajen y platiquen o una área que sea totalmente silenciosa para poder estudiar y leer, me da gusto que vayan los chicos a lo que sea que vayan porque en algún momento se les atravesará un libro que llamara su atención. Ojalá puedan mejorar ese aspecto, sin embargo muchas gracias por...
