Last week, CALS entered phase 3 of its re-opening plan. While meeting rooms and all in-person programming are still on-hold, Little Rock parents can make a library run to browse for books or to use a computer*.

*Reservation only, call your branch for details! 

  • Kids younger than 15 must be accompanied by a responsible adult, kids will be admitted between 1-5 p.m. 
  • The first hour of the day (between 9-10 a.m., unless noted) is reserved for patrons at-risk and 65+. 
  • All visitors older than 2 must wear a face mask.
  • Hand-washing and social-distancing are encouraged. 
  • Many branches still offer daily grab-and-go meals for kids. 
  • You can still use curbside service for checking out books.
  • Summer Reading Club is virtual this year, we’ve got sign up details here
