As kids head back to school, the library is a great place for them to spend their after school hours!

Every Monday through Thursday at 3:30, we have fun programs to keep kids engaged.  Kids can also study, do homework, or use our computers.

This school year, Bus #3 will stop at the library every day.  If you’d like your kids to ride the bus, just have them bring a note giving them permission!

It’s time for Summer Learning at the library!  This year’s theme is A Universe of Stories, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.

Summer Learning is open to kids, teens, and adults.  Read books, take part in fun activities, and win prizes!

Check out our calendar to learn about all the fun space-themed events we have coming up.  Come in to sign up anytime during the run of the program.

We look forward to exploring space with you this summer!

Library programs encourage community members to meet to discuss civic issues, work together using new technologies like robots or learn alongside one another in computer classes.

Enrollment for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, the popular book gifting program, has begun in Pulaski County!

Register your child at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Every month, the Imagination Library mails high-quality, age-appropriate books to children under the age of five, at no cost to the child’s family.

Arrow Head RC&D recently partnered with the Pulaski County Public Library to launch the program in our area to promote early childhood literacy throughout the county.

No fines will be charged on any materials during these days.

If you find yourself without heat in the next few days, local warming centers are available.  See here for more info: https://wkvi.com/2019/01/warming-center-plans-in-place-in-pulaski-county-town-of-culver/
