Bibliobus SCLC blog thumbThe Mobile-Book-Bus or Bibliobús comes through Sarapiquí!

The Bibliobús will make stops in Sarapiquí on July 17 and again on September 11. The Bibliobús, a project of Costa Rica’s national library system, is a mobile public library that provides services and offers books, games, and activities for children and young adults, all onboard a refurbished bus. The only one of its kind in the country, it travels to rural communities where access to such resources is limited. Children and young adults have the opportunity to spend time in the mobile library, reading and engaging in other educational activities.

Remembering long-time volunteer, Sue Rice

We at the SCLC are heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend, volunteer, and great supporter Susan Rice. We send our heartfelt condolences to her daughter Liz, her entire family, and her friends. Sue was a bright star for us and all who knew her; she will be greatly missed, but her legacy of music, crafts, and baking lives on.

SVLvelvetwormVelvet Worm Sighting in Selva Verde Lodge!

The night of September 9, 2022, during a night hike, our guide Randy Alvarado managed to spot in the primary forest of Selva Verde Lodge a species that is exceptionally hard to find in Costa Rica, a velvet worm (Onicóforo in Spanish). This is one of the oldest living beings in evolutionary terms, as it is known they exist since the Cambrian Period, more than 515 million years ago.
