Customer Reviews

★★★★★ 5.0 Nathan Hough · Feb 2026

Proven as one of the best library's in the State of Arkansas and in my opinion is the best one. They provide a variety of check-out materials and services. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The directors are wonderful folks with a heart for improving their community. And they are the only library in the state that services a population out of our area's size out of a single branch (hopefully to change soon). Give them more funding, give them your support.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rebel Helms · Jan 2026

COOLEST LIBRARY IVE EVER BEEN TO! You can literally checkout a variety of things that can be very helpful if needed! Even fishing poles. Outside games, cooking equipment. They have a children’s play& learning area. Computers, WiFi, study nooks, recliner like chairs with swivel desks attached! They have mobile book van that will come to you. Online apps with a lot to offer. They have a full calendar full of different events going on for all ages. I mean you name it this library has it! People who work here are super nice! 20/10

★★★★★ 5.0 Leeann Solice · Dec 2024

Absolutely love this library! Staff is super dedicated and they have amazing programming for kids and community: story times, museum displays, huge castle decorated seasonally, voter registration forms, kids crafts, book sale room, and really welcoming to all. Love their Friends of the Library Volunteers too.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lucid · Aug 2025

Nice people working there. The kids really like the children's area. Plenty of tables and private spaces to work. One less star for the smells-- several stinky odors just going in and out through the doors to enter and in the restroom, and more odors inside the library itself. Need to invest in baking soda to absorb these-- it's pretty inexpensive

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kiki · Oct 2025

Good library overall. It’s well-stocked and the staff are helpful. I would have rated it higher, but there are often homeless individuals hanging around inside, and sometimes there’s an unpleasant smell.
