Have we told you lately how much we love the Arkansas River Valley?!?!? There is always so much to do here. School has started, and with it, High School Sports!! We have links to watch these events online. Our community has tons of resources for the people who live here. If you haven’t looked at all the events the Public Library has, you have REALLY been missing out! Take a look at just a few of the free events they offer (that we highlight here in our blog) every week. From sports events, to learning events, to help for parents home schooling, to live entertainment… take a look at what’s happening This Weekend in the Arkansas River Valley!

NOTE: We do our best to bring you accurate information… however, we encourage you to reach out to event venues to confirm before you head out to an advertised event.

Q: Hey! This sounds COOL! Who can I bring?

A: Book your Bubble from 10:00 to 10:30 AM Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Wednesday is preschool story time, Thursday is bilingual story time and Friday is Music with Mr. Travis.

Q: THIS IS GREAT! Do we just show up?
A: Nope, you need to call to book an appointment. 479.968.4368 you must speak to either Ms. Melanie or Tammy Montjoy.

Q: I'm in! Sign me up for every day of the week!
A: Hold your horses! You can book your family bubble once a month so everybody gets a chance to attend an event.

Q: What are the safety measures?
A: Your family will be required to wear masks--yes even the kids. We will most likely be singing songs which projects germs further so all family members will need to be masked. Your family will be seated 12 feet away from the storytellers. The storytellers will be wearing face shields so that you can hear them read and sing, but still be protected. The event will be held privately in Heritage Hall. We will be filming the event for our virtual story times.
