📖 About Siloam Springs Public Library
The Siloam Springs Public Library has served the community continuously since 1906, at one early point operating from the basement of the First Presbyterian Church on Maxwell Street. After decades in a facility the town had long outgrown, the library relocated in 2016 to its current 18,322-square-foot building at 205 East Jefferson Street. The modern facility houses designated areas for children and teens, a dedicated story room for early literacy programming, more than 20 public computers with free Wi-Fi, and community meeting rooms. Managed by the City of Siloam Springs, the library serves Benton County residents with a full collection of print, audio, and digital materials, including eBooks and audiobooks through the Arkansas Digital Library Consortium (ADLC) and the statewide Traveler digital resource program.
