La Biblioteca sponsors more than a dozen art, music and educational weekly classes for children. These classes are provided free of charge to the children. Approximately 9,600 children attend these classes annually. Lack of funds, however, mean that the music classes for piano and guitar may be cancelled.

As La Biblioteca faces financial difficulties, not having governmental funding, it has implemented internal cost-cutting measures and proposed amendments to its bylaws to accommodate current economic conditions. Although members voted on July 12 in favor of the amendments, a quorum was not reached and the changes were not legally approved.

If the cultural and educational programs do not receive sponsorship or funding La Biblioteca will have to reduce wage expenses to teachers and hence cancel classes. Such is the case with a guitar class on Fridays 6-7pm, and a piano class on Saturdays, 10am-noon.

To avoid the cancellation of these classes, La Biblioteca seeks the collaboration of two volunteer teachers to continue the classes or sponsorship to cover teacher’s wages.

The Biblioteca de San Miguel de Allende held a special membership vote today, July 12, on proposed by-law revisions. The turn out was excellent with 144 members voting.

The results were: 86 Yes. 58 No.

Although the overwhelming majority of members voted Yes to support the proposed by-law revisions, the new proposed by-law changes were not passed due to a clause in the current Biblioteca by-laws.

Article X. (Amendments) in the current by-laws states, in part:

¨The by-laws can be amended by an affirmative vote of two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by members in good standing present at any Annual or Special Meeting¨. 

Ninety-six YES votes would have been required to pass the new by-laws.

The Biblioteca is grateful for all the members who came to vote today.
