You can do it all @ your Public Library!
Your public library is here to provide you, our customer, with basic free
access to current, high-demand, high-interest books, DVDs, music CDs, books on
tape, magazines and newspapers. You library system consists of the main
library, four branch libraries and the bookmobile.
We try to create a welcoming environment with a friendly, competent staff and
strive to introduce children and adults to the joys and rewards of reading and
using the public library.
Our "Literacy Bell Program" which partners with school systems
in our county, allows kindergarten and first grade students to “ring the
literacy bell” in celebration of reading their first book.
We especially try to support students of all learning levels and ages with
their formal and informal course of study and self-improvement. We offer story
time programs for preschool children, reading clubs for elementary students,
teens and adults. We have a free online Prep testing called "Learning Express Library"
that is available, along with other databases. We partner
with the OSHER Institute to offer classes for those 55 and over. Theses classes
have included topics such as “The History of the Civil War in Pulaski
County,” “Backyard Gardening,” and “Genealogy for
Beginners.” We offer new classes every spring and fall. Come by and pick
up a schedule.
We have just started “Saturday Matinee at the Library.” At 2:00 p.m.
on the first Saturday of the month, we show a free movie. You can find the
movie clues on our calendar on this Web site. We also provide free popcorn,
thanks to our Friends of the Library.
Speaking of the Friends, we have a bookstore run by the Friends of the Library
which is located in the basement of the main library. It is open Monday through
Friday, 9:00 a.m.until 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
We offer free Internet service at all of our locations, including Wireless. The Burnside and Shopville branches have community rooms available upon request.
The Pulaski County Historical Society’s offices are located in the
basement of the main library and they offer free genealogy help for those
seeking their ancestors. The office hours are Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Read a book! Surf the net! Watch a movie! Take a class! You can do it all @your
Public Library.
