National Library Week Celebration

Hello all,

National Library Week is a time to celebrate the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination, and support lifelong learning. This year, the theme is "Find Your Joy", a theme that highlights the many different ways libraries are enriching centers for our communities. This year we will be celebrating National Library Week on Saturday April 18, 2026.

Story time will start at 12:30 pm with author Lizette Martínez who will share her children's book, Mis cuentos del mar, a story highlighting the importance of caring for our planet, especially our oceans.  Stop by the library and participate in our Library Treasure Hunt, where children of all ages must deduce the answer to our riddles to find the next clue, collecting stickers along the way. The five contestants who complete the treasure hunt in the fastest time will win a $20 gift card. Prefer art to riddles? Stop by our art table and let your creativity run wild! Help us cover our library with your beautiful drawings. Think you can guess how much candy is in a jar? Give us your best guess as part of our Candy Guessing Game. The closest answer will receive a lifetime membership to our library.

You can also expect our monthly $5 bag sale. All books in our sales section are eligible. Finally, our Blast From the Past memberships make their long-awaited return. This year we will be offering 10 membership renewals at $2 (the price of our memberships when the library opened almost 40 years ago). Remember to arrive early to claim yours! Complimentary lunch will be served at noon.

⏱️: Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 11:00am-2:30pm

📍: San Juan Community Library

Spring break is just around the corner. The library will be closed from this upcoming Wednesday, April 1, 2026 to Sunday, April 5, 2026. You may return your books at any time using the green mailbox by the front entrance of the library or check out our online catalog of eBooks and audiobooks on Libby. As customary, fines will not be accumulated over the break.

As March draws to a close, we would like to acknowledge the end of Women's History Month. While the month may draw to a close, women's stories remain important year-round. In order to continue this celebration, you will find we've added new eBooks and audiobooks to our online catalog, all written by women and highlighting women's stories.

Wishing you all a lovely week from our library family to yours.
