GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) serves as an equalizer giving everyone access to art, music, culture, movies, or a wealth of knowledge. Taxpayer dollars only pay a portion of all CALS provides our community.
- A gift of just $25 puts a children’s book on our shelves.
- $100 purchases a new downloadable eBook or audiobook.
Donations help CALS continue offering the latest in technology, children’s art classes, job skills workshops, and much more. Small gestures lead to huge innovation.
