Saline County Library

Saline County Library Our mission is to create unique, enriching experiences that put you at the center of our story. The Mabel Boswell Memorial Library is 10,000 sq. ft.

We are a public library system striving to break the typical stereotype of a library by offering non-traditional items and programs to meet the needs of Saline County. Please read and follow our Social Media Code of Conduct on the policies page of our website: https://www.salinecountylibrary.org/about/our-library/policies/. The Saline County Library serves Saline County in Arkansas which runs 99 m

iles from point to point. There are two library facilities: Bob Herzfeld Memorial Library, the headquarters for the system, in Benton and the Mabel Boswell Memorial Library in Bryant. In addition to the library facilities, a 24 hour electronic information center is available through this website with online databases and library services available using your library card number. Staff would be happy to give a guided tour on what is available via the internet. The mission of the Saline County Library is to serve the citizens of Saline County by providing materials, technology, and programs that educate, connect, and entertain. The Bob Herzfeld Memorial Library was opened in 2003 with 32,000 square feet. The Mabel Boswell Memorial Library was completed in the year 2002; the Ruth Zoch Children’s Wing was added on in the year 2007.

We had a BLAST at BINGO Spirit Night at Larry's Pizza! There were so many cool prizes given out, including some ADORABLE axolotyls, decked out in tiny little library t-shirts. Thanks for coming out, and can't wait to see y'all at the next BINGO - in August, we'll have a Back to School version at each of our library branches!

Magic Morgan & Liliana really brought the magic to the library!!! Making feathered friends appear, hunting down the right cards, and creating balloon animals - this one was a showstopper that had the whole crowd in both Benton and East End enchanted. We love you guys! 🤟

Then, after the show, we got to meet one of their magical birds! 🕊️ This lil birb was so soft and so friendly. Thank you so much for visiting, teaching us sign language, and wowing us with amazing magic tricks! ❤️
