Hook, article, source & image all check out. But the hook could be more interesting.. maybe mention the number of books, or something. --Errant ^(chat!) 14:21, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

ALT1:

... that the Biblioteca Palafoxiana in the city of Puebla, Mexico, contains over 41,000 volumes, the oldest being from the 15th century?

As a non-Spanish speaker, the words describing the rare materials caught my eye, so I'd suggest ALT2. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 17:51, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

ALT2:

... that the Biblioteca Palafoxiana in Puebla, Mexico, contains over 41,000 books and manuscripts—including nine incunabula—and a retablo by Nino Pisano?

Sounds good! I just modified it to make it clear that incunabula are books. InverseHypercube (talk) 19:20, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

ALT3:

... that the Biblioteca Palafoxiana in Puebla, Mexico, founded in 1646, was the first public library in colonial Mexico?
- Good to go with ALT2 or ALT3. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 19:06, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
