New eBooks and Audiobooks

Hello all,

As April draws to a close we would like to acknowledge the end of Arab American Heritage Month with the addition of new books! Look through our catalog on Libby to find some new eBooks and audiobooks all written by Arab authors to highlight their stories and histories.

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. 

While the June 6 session might already be full, we still have spaces available for our Saturday, June 27 workshop. The workshop consists of one class running from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm 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, a contact number, and the session you wish to sign up for.

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 from our library family to yours!
