MISSION:

Central Arkansas Library System Foundation provides support for educational and cultural programming offered at our 15 libraries across central Arkansas. CALS provides access to books, technology, art, enriching experiences and a wealth of knowledge. Donations help the library continue to be a vibrant center of community impact. CALS is proud to provide resources and services to help residents reach their full potential, including programs like the library’s popular author events, math tutoring initiative, meals program for kids, library gardens and Rock It! Lab entrepreneurship center.
