Visit to Quepos Public Library

On our class field trip to the library, El Puente students had the chance to browse the shelves and check out a book. It was the first time any of the students had visited the local library and they were excited to sign up for their own personal library card which they still carry proudly in their bookbags months later and pull out for show and tell! Our students have made leaps & bounds in their interest in reading for fun and the local library has an even greater selection of books for the students to choose from. However, due to lack of town government funding, the library is struggling to keep its doors open. If you would be interested in making a donation to the library, please email us and we will provide you with the information of the Save the Quepos Library Fund that has been set up. Book donations (either new or used) are also appreciated and will be shared between our school library and the public library.
