La Biblioteca Nacional de México

La Biblioteca Nacional de México is located within a university. The building is an older style, but is interesting because of the way the story of Mexico's history is constructed into the building. Mural detail - La Biblioteca Nacional de México
You can see a few more slides of the building here.

Biblioteca Vasconcelos, Mexico Ciudad, Mexico

Biblioteca Vasconcelos, Mexico Ciudad, Mexicois an amazing public library as the shelving within the library is an integral part of the library structure holding the building together.  There were quite a few issues when the library first opened, but they have been resolved.
