May Announcements

Hello all,

As we continue our ongoing expansion of our Puerto Rican collection, we will be painting the inside of the library starting next Wednesday, May 13, 2026. The library will remain open, but please be mindful and plan your visit accordingly. If you have any further questions, feel free to call the library at (787) 789-4600 to speak with a volunteer. 

Looking to learn about a new art style this summer? Take the first steps to learning Sumi-e (Ink Painting) with Alejandra Nanishi! Sumi-e is a traditional Japanese monochromatic art style that seeks to capture the essence of nature with simple, fluid and intentional lines.

In this workshop you will:

• Learn the fundamentals of ink painting. 

  
  

• Explore a contemporary approach to Sumi-e.

  
  

• Connect with Puerto Rican nature as a source of inspiration.

  
  

• Develop tools to continue practicing at your own pace. 

The workshop consists of one class on Saturday, June 27, 2026 running from 11:00am to 1:00pm and has a cost of $25, which covers the cost of the class as well as all the materials needed. Open to all participants, 13 and up. To separate your space, send us an email to info@yourlibrarysanjuan.org with the participant's name, and a contact number.

You do not need any prior experience, simply the desire to create and explore!

With June just around the corner, stay tuned for upcoming details for our super Summer Reading Contest! 

Wishing you all a lovely week and wonderful Mother's Day to all mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures alike!
