The San Ignacio Public Library is having their first Finados this evening at 5:00pm. Like their page to keep current with their events.
"In 1936 the Jubilee Public Library established a 'sub-library' in the town of El Cayo San Ignacio. It consisted of books which were kept in the District Commissioner's Office. In 1951, the sub-library of San Ignacio was moved from the Commissioner's Office to the lower flat of the El Cayo Town Board. In the subsequent years there was a need for more space since the library was already undersized for the number of patrons it served. An ambitious project began; which was to provide the population of San Ignacio and surrounding areas with a new public library. The Mayor of San Ignacio/Santa Elena, John August was approached and it didn’t take long when the new library site was identified being the dilapidated meat market. With the tremendous contribution of the Social Investment Fund, The Rotary Club, San Ignacio/ Santa Elena Town Council and the Belize National Library Service and Information System (BNLSIS) , the new library became a reality and had its grand inauguration on November 3rd 2010."
