Upcoming Libros Para Pueblos Library Visits 

Libros Para Pueblos (LPP) is a nonprofit organization supporting 60 children’s libraries in underserved neighborhoods and rural communities throughout Oaxaca through book donations and reading promotion training. Go beyond the tourist trail and experience the heart of a traditional Oaxacan community. Visit a local library, spend time with primary school children who will read from their favorite books, meet community educators, and discover a Oaxaca few visitors get to know.

Tuesday, November 17 – Tlalixtac de Cabrera

Would you like to see how the library at Miguel Mendez Elementary School is being transformed after joining the Libros Para Pueblos network? On November 21, 2025, the library was welcomed into the LPP network with 200 high-quality children’s books, giving 263 students a new space to discover the joy of reading. Children will read one-on-one with us, while we observe innovative classroom activities and talk with local educators about inspiring lifelong readers. You’ll also experience the history of this Zapotec-founded town and witness the power of books to transform young lives. – A 900-peso donation is requested.

Tuesday, December 8 – Magdalena Mixtepec

Join us to experience first-hand the small rural community of Magdalena Mixtepec. At Benito Juarez Elementary School, children ages 6–12 have now access to a growing collection of books, thanks to the school’s welcome into the Libros Para Pueblos network in March 2026, when it received 200 high-quality children’s books. We’ll read one-on-one with students, talk with teachers about the hopes and challenges facing this rural community, and see how access to books is opening new opportunities for young readers. Located about 90 minutes from Oaxaca City, this visit offers a special glimpse into a close-knit community where books can help children discover new worlds and possibilities. – A 1,000-peso donation is requested  because It’s a longer drive than usual tours.(The drive takes approximately an hour and a half drive through a scenic mountain road (including some curves!)
