FAULKNER & VAN BUREN COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM

Library offers unique learning experiences

The Faulkner & Van Buren County Library System offers the community a variety of family-friendly fun with more than books. From establishing the first seed library in Arkansas to clog-dancing classes, the staff goes above and beyond to make it more than an ordinary library system. Other special events feature evenings with authors, health classes, concerts and much more.

The Faulkner & Van Buren County Library System, headquartered in Conway, has five branches — Greenbrier, Mayflower, Mount Vernon, Twin Groves and Vilonia, as well as two libraries in Van Buren County — Clinton and Damascus. The library system offers a wide selection of children’s, youngadult and adult materials to suit many tastes, as well as free e-book checkout.

On Nov. 2-4, the Conway Branch will host ComiConway, a celebration of comic books, science fiction and much more.

Admission for Nov. 2 is free and open to the public. Nov. 3 and 4 events will be held at the Conway Expo and Event Center. Admission tickets are $15 for a VIP pass, $5 for the weekend or $3 for Sunday only. Children under 12 will be admitted free with adult admission.

ComiConway is Arkansas’ premier comic, anime, sci-fi and gaming convention. ComiConway is funded and hosted by the Faulkner County Library, which takes pride in its service. The library’s goal is to offer its patrons opportunities through literacy and education that encourage the use of imagination, creativity and intellectual freedom.
