📖 About Sevier County Library
Sevier County Library is the public library for De Queen, the county seat of Sevier County in southwestern Arkansas. De Queen takes its name from Jan de Goeijen, a Dutch merchant and railroad financier instrumental in bringing the Kansas City Southern Railroad through town in the late 19th century — locals anglicized the name in a way the Dutchman reportedly found unflattering. Today the city of about 6,100 residents is notable for its Hispanic majority population (58% as of 2020) and its role as a regional hub served by both the Kansas City Southern and the De Queen and Eastern Railroad. The library sits on Stilwell Avenue and provides Sevier County residents with books, public computers, internet access, and connections to Arkansas's statewide digital resources. It is open six days a week, Monday through Saturday.
