Paul and I read constantly. Before we moved to México, one of our issues was that we needed to be in a place where we had access to English language books. We were big library users when we lived in Washington State.

Amazon and Amate Books ship to Mexico, so if we want to buy books, we can. We’ve had fast service from both online booksellers.

One of the things that contributed to our decision to move to Mazatlán, though, was the English Library. It is a membership library, run by volunteers, and has thousands of books.

Our membership allows us to take out five books at a time. Several times a year they have surplus book sales, and we always buy a bagfull.

I’ve been keeping track of the books I’ve read for the last couple of years and have my list here. I like to print it out every once in a while so when I’m in the library I can remember to look for books by authors I’ve enjoyed.

The library has temporary memberships also, so if you are here for a short time you can take advantage of their excellent selection of books.
