Starting Tuesday, September 15, 2026, there will be a change in opening hours for the San Nicolas library. The San Nicolas library will be open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Last Wednesday, the San Nicolas library received a visit from the Minister of Education, Ms. Gerlien Croes. Following a tour, the Minister spoke with the children present and held a discussion with the staff, during which Minister Croes announced the new opening hours.
The new school year got off to a great start for the San Nicolas Library. The 6th-grade class of Colegio Santa Filomena visited the library and was given a tour along with an explanation of how to borrow books and the importance of reading. All 21 students became members—a great initiative by their teacher, Ms. Sagine, to bring her class to the library. The San Nicolas Library invites all children to their next activity on September 24 from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The San Nicolas Library offers a peaceful environment to study, read, and look up information Monday through Friday. Residents from Pariba di brug (east of the bridge) can visit for any information, book loans, and other library services. The San Nicolas branch features an adult section and a youth section, offering a wide collection of books in various languages. Educational activities for children aged 4 to 12 are hosted twice a month. Membership for children and youth is free. A computer lab is also available; everyone is welcome to search for information, and membership is not required to use this service. Visitors can enjoy free Wi-Fi, courtesy of SETAR. All members can borrow e-books and audiobooks. For more information, visit the National Library of Aruba website.
