Biblioteca Mahatma Gandhi

The Mahatma Gandhi Library is one of the libraries with a background history, being a historical heritage of Santa Rosalía, Pueblo Mágico.

Mahatma Gandhi started as a project of a young man named "Paul Antoni Peilloin Asiain" who was a student at the University of Sonora. After a long construction effort, the library was inaugurated on February 15, 1965.

Mahatma Gandhi has had a variety of librarians, and one of the first was "Ramon Cota Martínez" and later it was "Flora Zermeño" who organized a contest to choose the name of the library, winning the name we currently know, "Mahatma Gandhi," which means "great soul" in Sanskrit.

The Mahatma Gandhi Library has been in different locations in Santa Rosalía, where it is currently located in Benito Juárez Park.
