CASA's Library

 

Since the founding of CASA, there was a demand for a collection of resources that would fit the needs of our teenage outreach workers.  In order to provide them and the community sufficient, up-to-date and engaging information on the regularly shied-away-from topics, like sexual education and reproductive rights, CASA established its first library in 1990.  Bit by bit, the library increased its text and video collections such that they could offer to the greater San Miguel public all the resources of CASA's specialized library.  CASA's library, located in our main offices and child development center completed in 2000, is an invaluable resource for our child and midwife students, youth promoters and the entire community.

How you can help:

The only cost of these services to the people of San Miguel is the one dollar fee to cover their library-card. We always accept donations of materials, but even more importantly, we seek out sponsors to grow the library itself.
