"Our anniversary for the library is Nov 15th. You and your students would be very welcome to join in the festivities. We need face painters, balloon animal makers etc! Bests, your friend, Jane Mirandette" - Yes, these were the words from Jane, and this next November 15th we will be celebrating with her and all the community of San Juan del Sur. Our Spanish students will get involved in the celebration, as well as, our teachers and all the kids of town. Jane started the library in 2001 with a few hundred books and now seven years after that with 12,500 books in English and Spanish, the San Juan del Sur library lends them to almost 5,000 library cardholders.

In addition to the library, Jane has created a traveling library program that takes books to children in secluded communities. Almost 4,000 new library cards have been issued to adults and children because of it.

And English lessons are offered to people who is involved in the tourism service, and this have had a great acceptance in San Juan del Sur
