The San Antonio Community Library was officially inaugurated on December 10, 2022, and opened its doors to the public on December 12, 2022, under the management of the Belize National Library Service and Information System (BNLSIS).
This new community resource was made possible through the generous support of the Altrusa Company’s “Blessing to Belize” team, who donated books and essential supplies to help establish the library’s foundation. Additionally, local businesses from the village contributed through donations, supporting programs and services aimed at benefiting residents of all ages.
The library is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 20 people at a time, providing a quiet and welcoming space for reading, learning, and community engagement.
The San Antonio Community Library is staffed by one dedicated Community Librarian, Mrs. Yadira Mesh, who plays a key role in its day-to-day operations and community engagement.
The San Antonio Community Library stands as a testament to the power of collaboration between national institutions, international partners, and local community members—all united in the mission to promote literacy and lifelong learning.
