📖 About Rogers Public Library
Rogers Public Library opened on July 4, 1904, with 458 volumes on the second floor of a building at First and Poplar Streets, organized by the Women's Study Club of Rogers. Even through the Great Depression the library grew steadily, and by 1934 it held approximately 3,462 volumes serving 1,629 registered patrons. The collection expanded dramatically through the 20th century; in March 1992 the Friends of the Rogers Public Library purchased 3.924 acres at the library's current address on South Dixieland Road, establishing the permanent home the community has relied on ever since. Today the library holds more than 150,000 books alongside electronic and multimedia collections, serves the city of Rogers in Benton County, and extends homebound delivery to patrons who are physically unable to visit. Sunday afternoon hours and evening service through Thursday make it one of the most accessible libraries in northwest Arkansas.
