The Garland County Library (GCL) can trace its history as far back as 1833. In 2019, it continues to stay relevant by launching major new services in the form of fast and easy self-checkout machines and a new, user friendly app available for download via www.app.gclibrary.com on your mobile devices. Any questions about these new services can be answered by a library staff member.
March is also host to an array of exciting events at the GCL. Sunday, March 10th at 2 p.m., the library will host New York classical guitarist Peter Fletcher, as he continues his national tour to impress audiences with his mellow style. Critics call his music lush, blissful, delicate, and detailed. Due to his popularity, please register with the library to reserve your seat.
On Monday, March 11th at 4 p.m., author Beth Brickell will speak about the widely publicized 1957 Maud Crawford disappearance case that happened in Camden, Arkansas. Brickell is a na
tive of Camden and wrote a series of journalistic articles involving the case.
She has also published two books regarding the situation. Her books will be available for purchase and autographing. Once again, registration is required.
