Christmas party and other reminders

Holiday greetings to you all,

This Saturday! Celebrate the holidays with us at San Juan Community Library. Just in time for holiday gift giving, join us for our $5 bag book sale. Storytime with Dads @ the Library will start at 1:00 pm. Remember, you can bring your own book to share with the group too! There will also be a complimentary lunch and donuts at 12pm along with recorded holiday music. Bring a friend and enjoy a moment to relax during this busiest time of year.

Time: 11:00 am-3:00 pm

The library will be closed for the holidays from Sunday, December 21, 2025 to Tuesday, January 6, 2026. We will open briefly on Monday, December 29, 2025 from 1:30 pm-4:30 pm for any members who wish to return, renew or check out new books. We will close again for the New Year and Three Kings Day until Wednesday, January 7, 2026. As customary, fines will not be accumulated over break and all of our members can access our online catalogue of ebooks and audiobooks 24/7 through the Libby app.

This year we received an early Christmas present! Join us for our very first Youth Writing Workshop with Newbery Award winning author, Andrea Beatriz Arango.
