Bull Shoals Library

Updates 

Changes and upgrades are underway in 2017.  Membership cards for the Library now have annual renewal dates based on the date you got your card.  To put this change into effect, please come to the library to renew your card if you became a member before 2016. If you became a member during 2016, your card will automatically be renewed annually on that date. 
An infant to pre-K reading time will soon be starting!  To help develop that program, the Library is accepting donations of children's books and rebuilding the children and young reader's section of the library.  Please call the Library  for more information about this program.
Materials available include: movies, books on CD, books on cassettes, and of course paper editions with new books being added soon!
