We asked CALS team members to share their favorite library events from 2025, along with their top choices in books, movies, or albums. We also wanted to know what they are looking forward to in 2026. The Grand Reopening of Main Library was the most popular choice!
The grand reopening of the Main Library.
As 2025 draws to a close, I want to extend my holiday greetings and pause to reflect on the momentous events at CALS over the past 12 months.
Our Library
Among the best things our 15 CALS libraries offer are spaces for community connection alongside quiet moments for rest and reflection.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! From beloved animation to comedy staples, these Christmas movies have made their way into our hearts. The kind of movies that still bring joy after hundreds of viewings, and will continue for hundreds more. Join us this December in the Ron Robinson Theater to celebrate the holiday season on the big screen.
Honor or memorial gifts are an everlasting way to pay tribute to someone who has touched your life. Give a donation in someone’s name to mark a special occasion, honor a friend or colleague or remember a beloved family member. When a tribute gift is given the honoree will receive a letter acknowledging your generosity and a bookplate will be placed in a book. For more information, contact 501-918-3025 or calsfoundation@cals.org.
Spreading your gift out through monthly contributions is a great solution for your budget and ours. Your monthly donation provides ongoing and predictable support we can count on to fund educational and cultural programming for the patrons, communities, and neighborhoods being served by CALS.
Leave your legacy with a planned gift that can help ensure quality materials, programming, and services for our libraries. For more information, contact 501-918-3025 or calsfoundation@cals.org.
