The Cabot Public Library in, Cabot, Arkansas offers more than just books and publications filled with information to the residents there. It provides several other great services and programs, as well.
However with all the services and programs available, Branch Manager, Tammie Evans says there is still a need for financial help. “We have started a “Friends Of The Library” group. They are now recruiting members,” said Evans.
Evan says that the library is in need of a 3D printer and with the help of the group they are in hopes of raising enough money to purchase the printer soon.
Some of the new programs offered at the library includes, Chess on Mondays from 4 PM until 6 PM and a Meditation Class that starts at 7 PM.
There is also, Spilling Ink (a writer’s club), Fiber Arts, which includes knitting, crocheting, quilting and other fiber arts. Evans says there are other services she plans to implement once the money is raised.
“We are getting ready to start campaigning for a Mil increase, so we hope to be able to start something by the end of this year,” she said.
On Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10:30 A.M. parents can take their young children to StoryTime at the library with the Children’s Librarian, Daniece Howard.
Howard says she enjoys her job, teaching the children to love reading. “If I can get that across in Story Time with a fun story, song, and dance, whatever it takes to find that certain subject that gets them to love that book, that’s what I really love about it,” she said.
The library is open Monday through Friday from 8:30AM – 7PM
