Each year Arkansas participates in the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) . CSLP is a national grassroots consortium of libraries working together to promote interest in reading, and Library use. By combining resources and working with CSLP members, public libraries can purchase posters, reading logs, bookmarks, certificates and a variety of reading incentives and great savings. Thanks to the Arkansas State Library most if not all of these items are free.
Our “Virtual” Imagine Your Story Summer Reading Program will be each Wednesday in July beginning July 8th at 1 pm on Facebook.
Beginning June 30th the first 25 children can pick up packets and the can do their projects with Kelsie.
Thank you to CSLP and the Arkansas State Library for providing libraries a way to keep reading active in children’s lives.

We will be open our normal business hours, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 12:00 then from 1:00 to 5:30 and Saturdays from 8:30 to 12:30, with some restrictions.

Mask will be required to enter the library, you must provide your own mask. We will be cleaning and sanitizing all throughout the day. We will continue to offer curbside services. We have worked hard since we have been closed. We have added over 800 new items to our circulation, and remodeled the front and back of the library. We hope you like the changes we have made. After all this is your library and we want you to be proud of it. We will kick off our Summer Reading Program, Imagine your Story, on Saturday July 4th at 10:00. This year the Summer Reading will be done completely online. This is a new experience for us and we are trying hard to work our all the details.
