And, we want to include you in the fun.  Please take a moment to share with us one way that you love San Juan Community Library.  Your stories are important.  We know from your emails that students who have spent time reading at our library have become authors, teachers and librarians.  Other people have typed letters and resumes and printed important documents. We have proctored a wide variety of tests, including tests for students at both the high school and college level and examinations for various professions. More than 40 sea captains have passed their examinations here at our library!
 
We are grateful to everyone for their support and we want to share the story of your time here.  Send us an email to info@yourlibrarysanjuan.org and  share with us how we have made a positive difference in your life.  We are excited to see the list of “35 Ways to Count How We Love our Library.”
