New Website Launched!

www.cityofbullshoals.org

The new City of Bull Shoals website has been launched!  The site consists of a desktop and mobile version.  It showcases our city and provides valuable information to citizens and visitors alike with tabs containing information on area news, recreation (including parks, attractions, hiking, swimming and fishing spots), government (including city hall employees that can help answer your questions, fire department, police department, public works department and ordinances), a link to the Chamber of Commerce and a brief history.  You can even pay your court fines online.  

A city calendar and news update section are areas of the website you'll want to check often.  Meeting dates, agendas (when possible), city events and updates on various current and new projects going on around the city will be posted here.  The mobile version calendar is presented in an agenda format to easily see what events are coming up next for you to look forward to.  Clicking the look for more, advancing the arrows and choosing another month/day at the top of the calendar will reveal more events.

The Bull Shoals City Council, Police Department and Animal Control Facebook Pages have also been linked to the website.  Keep up with information on those departments by following their pages.  

Directions to Bull Shoals, AR on Google Maps is linked on the Welcome Page as well as a detailed map of the city available for download.  

The photos that represent our beautiful area have been taken by the residents, visitors and business owners of Bull Shoals.  If you have photos for the gallery of an event, wildlife, scenery or just a fun day you spent in Bull Shoals with your family, you may submit them to the city by email through waterdpt@cityofbullshoals.org with WEBSITE PHOTO in the subject (photos must be of good quality and at least 1050 pixels wide).  Please include your name and contact information in the email.  We cannot promise your photo will be used, as space and quality are a factor.  Thank you in advance for sharing your photos with the community!

This website is a valuable resource to our community.  Check it out! 

Bull Shoals Library

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!
