To our neighbors, Saline County voters: please show up to support your library this voting season, and vote AGAINST this issue.

The Garland and Saline County libraries currently have an agreement together — residents of both counties can get a free library card for the other county. 😊

Hey everyone! We think it's time to bring back this page. This page is run by several private, taxpaying citizens and users of the Garland County Library. We are here to vocally advocate for the library in ways that the library can't as a taxpayer-funded entity.

We want to bring attention to this amazing new proposal. A temporary millage increase to support the library's project will be on the ballot for all Garland County voters on November 3rd this year and we want to help educate our county about why you should vote FOR it! Keep an eye on this page over the next couple months as we spread the word about how we can all make our county a better place with an even better library.
