📖 About Faulkner County Public Library — Conway
The Faulkner County Public Library traces its roots to 1935, when Conway citizens and civic groups pooled donations to open the city's first public library. When a county tax measure passed in 1954, the institution transitioned into the self-supporting Faulkner County Public Library. In May 2025 the library marked two milestones at once: its 90th anniversary as an institution and the 30th anniversary of its current building at 1900 Tyler Street. Today the library anchors the nine-branch Faulkner-Van Buren Regional Library System, offering more than 49,000 adult fiction and 35,000 adult non-fiction titles alongside a robust digital collection. Notary services and museum passes are available for cardholders, and the library's social services connections help patrons locate food pantries, shelters, and other community resources. Extended hours until 7pm every weekday make the library accessible to students and working adults throughout Faulkner County.
