Boo! Here comes Day of the Character!

Hello all,

Our annual Day of the Character activity is just around the corner! Come to the library for a day of fall festivities dressed up as your favorite character from literature, movies, television, or history. Starting at 11:00am we will begin our festivities with story time with our wonderful storyteller, Lizette, followed by craft time and face painting for children. From 11:30am-1:30pm, sign up to get your very own portrait in your costume done by a caricature artist. To sign up for a single portrait, we will ask for a $10 donation to the library and $15 for a group portrait. There are limited spots, so be sure to sign up early!

Starting at noon, get your very own custom poem made for you in the moment. Stay until 2:00pm for our special raffle. The winner of the children's raffle will win a free family membership for a year while the adult's raffle winner will take home a free lifetime membership. Last but not least, like all our activities our sales section will be on flash sale until closing at 3:00pm. Fill up a shopping bag full of books for only $5 a bag. 

🕐: Saturday, October 25, 2025 from 11:00am-3:00pm

📍: San Juan Community Library

Reminder! Next Dads @ the Library session is on Saturday, November 1, 2025. Dads @ the Library meets for story time the first Saturday of the month at 1:00pm. You can join any session and become one of our future readers! Whether it be a book from the library or from home, bring the story that speaks to you to share with the group.  We will host a snack time before we start for all participants and their dads!

Wishing you all the best from our library family to yours.
