The SJDS Biblioteca is the first lending library in Nicaragua, providing books,
information, technology, and community center services to the people of San Juan del Sur and its surrounding
communities.
“Our objective was to start a lending library and mobile program for San Juan del Sur
and the small outlying communities nearby to provide books, resources and community center services where none
were available. Libraries in Nicaragua do not loan their books, and new books are rare. There is little or no
access to books or information and there are very few books or materials in many schoolrooms. The SJDS
Biblioteca has become an integral part of the community and now serves as a successful example to other lending
library programs in Latin America.” ~website
