The Garland County Library invites you to avoid the likely April showers by coming inside and enjoying any of our wonderful programming endeavors.
First of all, during the entire month of April, the library will be hosting a Pet Food Drive. Donating any can or bag of dog or cat food will net you one entry (per can or per pound) into a fabulous prize drawing. One lucky winner will be rewarded for their generosity with a new Fire HD 10 tablet, fully compatible with the library’s digital offerings. All donations will be given to the Garland County Humane Society.
Pet lovers during April can also submit a photo of their furry, feathery, or scaly friends to enter the Pet Photo Contest. The actual voting and display will happen on April 30th, so please submit your photo before then. See our website for more information and rules.
April is full of other notable events. Library programs this month range from an edu-taining presentation on the Mammals of Arkansas featuring Master Naturalist Belinda Jonak on April 6th, to a fascinating Pysanky Easter Egg showcase with award-winning artist Lorrie Popow on April 10th, to a discussion (with samples!) on the popular Mediterranean Diet from Family & Consumer Science Agent Alison Crane on April 23rd. All of these programs require registration.
Visit the library online at www.gclibrary.com or call 501-623-4161 or 501-922-4483 for information about special events, library collections, or library services. The library is located at 1427 Malvern Avenue in Hot Springs.
