📖 About Fairfield Bay Library

Fairfield Bay Library, Incorporated is one of Arkansas's most distinctive public libraries — an entirely volunteer-operated nonprofit funded by memberships, donations, and grants rather than a tax district. The library serves the resort city of Fairfield Bay, situated on Greers Ferry Lake in the Van Buren and Cleburne county hills, a community where more than half of residents are aged 65 or older and seasonal visitors arrive from across the region. Its collection spans popular fiction, classics, children's titles, large print, audiobooks, and approximately 1,400 DVDs available to borrow. Internet access is provided free of charge at public computers, and the library is proud to operate with more volunteers per patron served than any other Arkansas public library. A notary public and fax service round out its practical offerings for this lakeside community.
