The Na’atik Library
Our Library
Located on the second floor of our vibrant school, the Na’atik library stands as a cornerstone of linguistic exploration and cultural immersion. The space is lined with colorful, literary-inspired murals and the shelves that contain a collection of more than 2,000 books in English, Spanish, and Yucatec Maya.
From children’s books, to literary novels, to graded readers, the library offers a rich selection of resources tailored to language learners of all levels and ages. Here, students can expand their vocabulary, increase their fluency, and deepen their understanding of global cultures.
Beyond its books, the library serves as a hub of activity, with regular events, workshops, and gatherings that foster conversation, collaboration, and cultural exchange. This dynamic space has been growing and thriving since its inauguration in 2018 thanks to our committed students and generous donors, especially April Scott, and David and Brenda Fry.
Find the library on the second floor of Na’atik Language and Culture Institute.

Make a donation.
Our library is sustained exclusively by donations. The quality and breadth of our collection changes the lives of our students. You can be part of that today.
We are also thrilled to accept donations of reading materials. If you are coming to Na’atik and would like to bring reading materials to donate, please know we accept donations of books in good condition.
If books are dirty, moldy, worn, damaged, or contain notes or highlighting, we won’t be able to use them. Please reach out to our librarian at library@naatikmexico.org in order to discuss any materials you wish to donate that are not on the wishlist.
We are specifically looking to expand our collection of:
books designed for English language learners (such as graded readers)
recent non-fiction books
