MELL is a garden where one can relax in the shade of our neem tree. MELL is a venue for cultural events such as lectures on – Aging Successfully, 17th Century Merida, the Maya Calendar. MELL is a place where writer’s workshops and conversations in English and Spanish take place. MELL
is the annual 53rd Street Scene - take your pick from fine antiques or garage junk and vote for your favorite chili during the Chili Cook Off. MELL is where friends meet and where folks make new friends.
Volunteers staff us, and almost all books in the Library have been donated to us by generous members and friends. The library functions not only as a book-lending center but also as a community center. Bring a group of your friends and play dominos, backgammon, Scrabble, or do some jigsaw puzzles. We also offer an Internet connection to the community at large for ten pesos per half hour!
We offer for sale a variety of books (a bargain at $10 pesos each), Neem Tree Farms Lotions, tinctures and Outdoor Gel (for those nagging mosquitoes), the "official" new library logo apron, and a MELL book bag and while supplies last, the latest bus route map of Merida.
Won't YOU come by and see what all the excitement is about? Better yet, become a MELL member and experience it ALL for a very low membership fee.
