The Central Library of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) is the main library in the Ciudad Universitaria Campus. It holds one of the largest collections in Mexico. It has a multidisciplinary approach for all the university courses from the adjacent faculties.
CU's cultural zone is veeery pretty and quiet (the Espacio Escultórico, or over by the botanical garden). Or the central library. The inside is really silent.
La Zona cultural de CU es muuuy bonita y tranquila (espacio escultorico, o del lado del jardin botanico). O la biblioteca central. El interior es bien silencioso.
