The library is excited to partner with St. Johns County Animal Control to help find furever homes for some of our feline friends! The cost to adopt a cat includes rabies and other vaccination shots, as well as spaying or neutering services. All costs have been sponsored by outside organizations.
If you are not able to attend this event, or might be interested in adopting a dog, please visit our Southeast Branch. Their adoption event is on Thursday, January 22 from 10am to 3pm.
We are pleased to announce that our book selection for St. Johns Reads 2026 is "An Immense World" by Ed Yong!
In "An Immense World," Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong takes us beyond the limits of human perception to explore how animals experience the world through senses both familiar and strange, from echolocation and ultraviolet vision to magnetic and electric fields. With vivid storytelling and infectious curiosity, Yong reveals that our reality is just a narrow slice of a much larger, richer sensory world teeming all around us.
"An Immense World" is available in both Adult and Young Adult editions in print, as well as in e-book and e-audiobook formats on Libby.
In its 22nd year, St. Johns Reads is the St. Johns County Public Library System's annual "One Book, One Community" event focused on creating a shared conversation on a selected novel. St. Johns Reads is proudly supported by the Friends of the Library groups. We can't wait for January 2026, when we'll all come together for this special community event!
