Registration is required for our library branch’s always-popular W.A.V.E. (Women Against Violent Encounters) Self-Defense Courses for women and female high school students! Thanks to an ongoing partnership between St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office and the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library, female SJC deputies of W.A.V.E. will be returning to the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library to teach these incredibly popular courses. Each course is a single experience, so patrons should only register for one course date – either Monday, March 21 or Tuesday, March 22, both held from 5 – 7:30 pm.

Due to high demand in the past, registration for these courses will be done by a lottery system. The 25 attendees selected for each course by the lottery system will be notified by our Library during the week of March 14. Please let us know immediately if you need to cancel your lottery registration. Any cancellation vacancies will be filled by the lottery system’s wait list until the day of each course.

Registration for these courses opens at the Adult Reference Desk of the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library or by calling the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library at (904) 827-6950 on Monday, February 28.

If you have any questions, please stop by the Adult Reference Desk at the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library or call the Library at (904) 827-6950. To see if any other SJCPLS branches are offering the W.A.V.E. Self-Defense Courses, please visit SJCPLS Adult Events or call your local branch library:  SJCPLS Branch Libraries’ Information. Thank you for supporting our partnership’s efforts to help keep women and female high school students safe!
