Fort Smith Public Library

The Fort Smith Public Library on Rogers Ave. (the Main Library) is, I believe, one of the best things about Fort Smith. Not only is it conveniently located on Rogers Ave (across from Creekmore park and close to Sweet Bay!) but it is a great, modern library with a supportive staff and an abundance of resources. Their second floor has computers, fiction and nonfiction, as well as a genealogy department while the bottom floors have the check out desk, children’s/young adult section. They also have an extensive audiobook/​video section as well as public meeting rooms available. The staff are incredibly helpful and are always willing to help you locate a book. If one of the books is available only at a branch library, they can transfer it to the main branch within a matter of days. In all my trips to this library, I have never had an unpleasant experience. The facilities are always clean, books are where they are supposed to be, and the people always friendly. I definitely love this library!
