Friends of CALS: Get Involved with Your Local Library

Each year Friends gives about $50,000 to support the Six Bridges Book Festival, book club kits, Arkansas Sounds concerts, branch programs, Summer Reading Club, and youth programs. Your membership fee and purchases at the Friends of CALS Used Book Sales are what make these gifts possible.
