Who we are and what we do

David Kitson Library, Costa Rica volunteer opportunity

During the four years of the Library’s existence, volunteers have sponsored many activities. We've become deeply involved in the community as part of our overall program. Some of our involvements include:
  • Arts and crafts courses for children and adults, especially around Christmas.
  • Aid to students in the GED program, providing books, meeting space and some teaching by volunteers.
  • Participation in all community activities, particularly supporting better health and better security to the community.
  • Special Saturday morning programs for children, vidio movies and story-time.
  • The library has a television and VCR for use by teachers to aid learning and a collection of educational videos.
  • The library helps local residents prepare letters, using our word-processing equipment to turn out presentable messages.
  • Not all of the library's services are for local people.  The library also provides Internet service to the community and foreign visitors so they can check e-mail
  • Aid to Americans trying to learn Spanish with special conversation sessions, with local people volunteering to teach Spanish to the foreign residents.
  • The library's supporters participate in local festivals with our own parade float each special national holiday.
