Building a Community Library

Drennan is working with his neighbors, tico and gringo, to build a community library in La Florida. Just before we arrived, they had completed the foundation and the roof. Once completed, it will house books and a computer lab. For the first time, wireless internet will be available to locals in the valley.

Working with a Denver-based company called Walking Tree Travel, high school students from the United States are brought to Costa Rica for a language immersion and community service experience. These students have been and will continue to be crucial to the progress that has been made on the construction of the library.


In many ways, this project has been an extension of the community garden that Drennan and other neighbors built and have maintained behind the schoolhouse. To see more about this partnership, click here.
