Keep San Marcos Beautiful and the Habitat Conservation Plan host a monthly Hot Spot Clean Up on the 1st Saturday of each month. The location varies each month to areas that need extra care. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. Keep an eye on the Keep San Marcos Beautiful event page on Facebook for updates.

Need volunteer hours for school? Want to give back to the community? Pick up a teen take & make service kit! This month we’ll be partnering with Meals on Wheels to create Christmas placemats for senior citizens. Completed service kits must be returned to the library by December 13th to receive volunteer hours. For ages 12-17.

Let our librarians play matchmaker! Take a chance and let us set you up on a book date. If you’re lucky, you may even find your next favorite book or author! Fill out the linked form to participate. Based on your preferences we will place two books on hold for you. You must have a San Marcos Public Library card to participate.

Children learn through play! Families can explore hands-on activities designed to teach early literacy skills to children under 5. Walk-in appointments available Mon-Sat, 10 am until 1 hour before the library closes. Limited to one group at a time, for one hour. Disinfected daily.

Watch short documentary films about “housing first” policies and houselessness within the LGBTQ+ community, followed by a discussion on these important issues. Film titles will be announced at the program. Hosted by the Homeless Coalition of Hays County. Registration required.

We all need help from time to time. Connect with organizations who are assisting people in our community with basic needs. Local service providers will be on hand to give information on services they provide the community, including information on qualifications and volunteer opportunities. We will also be collecting nonperishable foods, blankets, coats, and small heaters – please contribute if you can. Hosted in partnership with the Homeless Coalition of Hays County.
