June is potentially the most exciting and educational month of 2019 thus far for adult patrons of the Garland County Library. There’s no time for puns and word flair –let’s jump straight to business!
The annual Summer Reading Program begins on June 1st and lasts until July 31st. Every book you read, or audiobook you listen to, gives you one entry into our Annual Summer Reading Program. You can either submit your entries at the library, or use the link found by clicking the Summer Reading Program banner on our website, or by visiting the online calendar at http://gclibrary.com/calendar.html. Dozens of prizes await, and the more books you read, the more chances you have to win.
The library has collaborated with several partners this June to provide programs, many of which are providing incredibly important knowledge to the community, and members of all ages. The Corps of Engineers is here for Boating & Water Safety Class on June 5th.
Providing the essential information all seniors need to know, the Social Security 101 & Q&A will be happening on June 6th. National Park College is presenting FAFSA 101 to teach about financial aid to students and parents of all ages on June 11th. On June 26th, seniors can attend Senior Tips on Finance, which has a focus on avoiding financial exploitation. All of these events 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.
