We run a host of programs every week and year round
Programs
The Library hosts and directs a weekly senior citizens social club. The seniors practice and perform traditional folkloric dances and improvisational theater pieces throughout the community. They also play bingo and do other social activities each week.
The Club de Lectores program for elementary school students from fourth to sixth grade meets every two weeks. The Library also offers multiple book clubs on Kindle e-readers for adolescents and adults that meet monthly.
For 26 years, the Library has offered intensive English as a Second Language courses for children and adults during January taught by interns from Middlebury College, Vermont. In addition, the Library offers supplemental English courses for adults throughout the year, usually in six week blocks.
Computer experts offer computer classes to adolescents, adults and seniors to build foundational understanding on the use of computers and the internet. More advanced classes offer instruction on Microsoft Office.
This program meets weekly at the Library and emphasizes parents reading to their children. It also provides a venue for young children to develop their social and motor skills before starting school and for parents to interact with each other.
The Library hosts social studies, science, and math tutoring for community members aiming to achieve their high school diploma.
Each week, a group of children meets at the Library to practice traditional Guanacaste folkloric dancing. The group performs at various community events, hoping to preserve this important part of local culture.
