November in San Juan Community Library

Hello all,

November is right around the corner! Hard to believe it, I know, and we have a couple of reminders for the month:

Dads @ the Library: The next Dads @ the Library session is this 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 families!

Power Up With Reading 2025: Launched in 1919, Children's Book Week is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the United States. This year's anchor is bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator, Dav Pilkey, best known for creating book series like Dog Man and Captain Underpants. The Dog Man series celebrates creativity and imagination and explores universally positive messages including the importance of doing good, empathy, and compassion. 

As part of this year's Power Up With Reading celebration, we want to see your comic creations. Imagine a new Dog Man story and create your very own comic about it! Whether you want to use characters from the Dog Man series, or make your own story in the Dog Man world, let your imagination loose! Once your comic is complete, make sure to hand it in to one of our volunteers during Children's Book Week in order to participate in the raffle. All participants will be entered for the chance to win 1 of 5 Dav Pilkey books.

All children up to age 18 can participate. Remember to hand in your comic between November 3-8, 2025 for your submission to count towards the raffle! 

Annual Community Meeting: This year our annual community meeting will be held on Thursday, November 13, 2025 at 5:30pm. We will share the 2024 annual report and elect our 2025-2026 Board Members.

Saturday Art Classes: Announcing new slots for our Saturday art classes with Maestra Cuca are open! Classes are held on Saturday from 10:00am to 12:00pm. Open to children 8-13. For more information, please text or call Cuca directly at (787) 633-5787.

November closings: We will be open under our regular operating hours on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. However, we will be closed on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 in commemoration of Veteran's Day as well as Wednesday, November 19, 2025 in honor of Discovery of Puerto Rico day. For the week of Thanksgiving, we will be closed after Monday, November 24, 2025, open from 12:30pm-4:00pm.
