It's Library Card Sign-Up Month! Since 1987, Library Card Sign-Up Month has been held each September. 

If you or someone you know doesn’t have a library card, now’s a great time to do it.  Stop in – only takes a few minutes – or visit our website to sign up online.  Sign up this month to get some cool library swag!

The fee for replacement cards will also be waived this month.  If you’ve lost your card, let us know, and we’ll get you a new one!

The kids’ area at the library is open!  We are excited for you to come in and view the renovated space. Please know that although the space is open, work is still being done in the area and not everything will be the same as what you may be used to.  Resources are available, but you may find things in different locations.  The majority of the collection is available, and computers have been set up with social distancing guidelines.  Our team is happy to help you locate the resources your children need, but no toys or games are available at this time.

Banned Books Week runs from September 26th to October 2nd.  During Banned Books Week, we highlight instances where books have been challenged or banned and affirm our commitment to ensuring access to any material a person chooses to read.

This year, we're giving away free copies of All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely.  All American Boys was the #3 most challenged book in libraries in 2020.

In remembrance of the 20th anniversary of September 11th, the Pulaski County Public Library is giving away multiple copies of the books listed below.  The books are available free of charge in order to increase awareness of September 11th and to help children and teens better understand the significance of the day.  

Medicare open enrollment runs from October 15 to December 7 each year.  Come to one of our virtual Medicare 101 sessions – Thursday, September 16 at 10:30 a.m. or Wednesday, October 13 at 1:00 p.m. – to learn about the program before you enroll. 

These programs will take place using Zoom.  Sign up in advance to get the Zoom link by filling out the form at https://forms.gle/ap9LVjLEdzu2djFUA

Pulaski County Public Library recently received a donation of two air purifiers from Blueair, a global leader in indoor air purifying solutions. Utilizing Blueair’s HEPASilent technology, the Classic 605 air purifiers can track and display current air quality, while filtering air in an up to 775 ft² room at the industry-recommended rate of 5x an hour (or about every 12 minutes) to effectively lower particle levels and maintain a clean and comfortable environment.

Work is continuing at the library!  We’ve made a lot of progress, but there’s also more that still needs to be done.  Library staff is constantly working to provide the library services you’ve always enjoyed while also doing whatever needs done to reopen areas as quickly as possible.
