The public library in Patzcuaro -- Biblioteca Gertrudis Bocanegra. The library is located in the former San Agustin Church, built in the 16th century. The mural is the work of Juan O'Gorman and depicts the history of the Michoacan region from pre-Hispanic times up to the 1910 revolution. The library is named after a heroine (or do we now use hero for women?) of the Mexican war of independence. The square next to the library is named in her honour and features a bronze statue of her.
And, in Morelia, the university library.
