📖 About Nevada County Library
Nevada County Library is a branch of the Southwest Arkansas Regional Library system and is administered by the Arkansas State Library. It is located at 121 West Main Street in downtown Prescott, the county seat of Nevada County. The library offers free public computer access with a 45-minute session limit, copy, fax, and scan services, and eBook and audiobook borrowing through the OverDrive/Libby platform via the Arkansas Digital Library Consortium. Genealogical researchers benefit from free in-library access to Ancestry Library Edition, which includes billions of records across thousands of databases — a particularly valuable resource for tracing families in a region with deep Reconstruction-era and early twentieth-century history.
