U.A.E.M. Public Library
The state public library was founded in 1886 in the heights of the Morelos theater during the period of governor Jesus H. Preciado. After the Revolution it returned to operation in 1930 on the ground floor of the Palace of Cortés. In 1944 it was reinstalled in the circular hall of the Benito Juarez elementary school (Hidalgo and Netzahualcoyotl). In 1946 it moved to this place where since 1952 it ceased to be the public library of the state to be dependent on the "Institute of Higher Education of the State of Morelos" that later became the U.A.E.M. university taking the name of the teacher and historian Miguel Salinas. When it was the public library of the state, it kept on its shelves numerous books by the remembered historians Francisco Plancarte y Navarrete and the engineer Domingo Diez, which today are no longer there. In 1954 the mural inside this building by the painter Norberto Martínez Moreno was completed. In the 50s of the twentieth century were transferred to this library the metal halberds that decorated the old hall of the congress in the Palace of Cortés since the nineteenth century and that have a long transhumant history.
