SEND AN EMAIL: Save the Arkansas State Library
Senate Bill 536 (SB536) proposes new and restrictive requirements for libraries across Arkansas and offers no additional funding or resources. In addition, it completely abolishes the Arkansas State Library.
Arkansas Library Supporters – we urgently need your voices to put a stop to the attack on libraries in the state of Arkansas.
SB 536, which would abolish the entire Arkansas State Library agency and Arkansas State Library Board will move to the House State Agencies and Govt'l Affairs Committee soon. This expensive, unnecessary change could cause severe disruptions to vital library services for rural Arkansas communities and put the continued existence of some of Arkansas's rural public libraries in jeopardy, not to mention costing Arkansans *millions* of dollars in lost shared resources.

Contact the members of the House State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee below today and ask them to put a stop to this politicization of Arkansas's libraries. To make your voice heard,
