March 2026 Newsletter
 
The weather is warming up, Arkansas is starting to turn green again, and before you know it we'll be in Daylight Savings Time. And the library is here with some awesome events! Don't you just love it when all the pieces come together? 2026 is well under way, and I for one can't wait to see what the rest of this year brings!

Question: Can the library really help me get a passport?
Answer: Yes! We know obtaining your passport can feel intimidating, and we're here to help. Make an appointment at either the Benton Branch or Bryant Branch to set up time with a passport agent. 
 
To prepare for your appointment, you must fill out the DS-11 paperwork (but don't sign it yet), bring in an original or certified copy of your birth certificate, show your driver’s license or state-issued ID, and be prepared to pay passport fees with check or money order. (Prices vary for passport books and cards). 
 
The library can take your passport photo at our passport office.
