Throughout the season, scheduled library activities were posted on the white board in front of the library. There were decorations to make, Christmas puppets to create and a tree to trim. The libary also sponsored nativity story hours, and a photo session. Children used their Christmas-themed photos to create gift cards for their parents, and they also created other small crafts to give as gifts.

Several of the local children volunteered to bring gifts of donated stuffed animals to Christmas fiestas in the surrounding communities, which were sponsored by the Biblioteca Movil project. Following tradition, the gift givers came dressed as Mary and Joseph and the three kings. The fiestas, including gifts, refreshments and a piñata, have become a mobile project tradition.

Peace Corp Volunteers Salome Phillmann, and Millie Tillman had seen the success of the HJH Library in a Box protocol in San Juan, and submitted an application to start their own library within the school. Their effort was also backed by three prominent members of that community, including school director Jacobo Sanchez.

The HJH Libraries for All program approved this application and has provided the needed supplies and a seed collection of 300 books.

In November, 2006, Tillman and Phillmann, accompanied by two volunteer staff members from the Cardenas Community, traveled to San Juan del Sur several times to receive training from the staff of the SJDS Biblioteca.

During the Nicaraguan summer vacation, school staff and library volunteers are busily working to set up the library using the materials and expertise provided by the SJDS Biblioteca Movil and the HJH program. When school resumes in February, the new library will begin lending books to students taking classes at the school. The staff of the San Juan del Sur Biblioteca greatly appreciated this opportunity to increase the availability of informational resources to Nicaraguan students.
