Who We Are

The Rogers Public Library Foundation was established in 1997 at the request of the Rogers Public Library Trustees. A non-profit corporation (501(c)(3) was founded by a group of far-sighted citizens who understood that a great Library wouldn’t be possible through public funding alone. The Foundation has continued its original vision of generating private-sector support to supplement tax-based funding. The result has been improved collections, expanded programs and enhanced services. But the credit for the Foundation’s impact belongs entirely to the people of Rogers and the surrounding community. Over the years, hundreds of generous individuals, corporations and foundations have demonstrated their deep commitment to the Rogers Public Library by donating to the Foundation.

 Access to technology is what Geek the Library 2.0 is all about.  The partnership between the Rogers Public Library and local technology companies/retailers is an exciting new direction for both the library and the participating businesses.  Technology Literacy is imperative in our world!  More than ever, children are growing up in a world where technology is tied to every political, social, and economic decision they make.

 Geek the Library is a national campaign funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and supported by OCLC, which is one of the oldest and most influential library service and research organizations. The purpose of Geek the Library is to get the word out that the Library is not just a place for dusty old books. Whatever you GEEK, the Library supports it! The Library has everything from Blu-rays to e-media of every type. “We did a customer survey last year about online services and found out that people simply don’t know what’s available or what services the Library provides. You can learn a language online, get homework help, download e-books and a whole lot more” said Rogers Public Library Assistant Director Robert Finch.

Geek the Library is a marketing campaign developed just for libraries. Its goal is to educate communities about the value of Public Libraries and to help residents understand why local support is so important. The Rogers Public Library is proud to be the first Library in Arkansas to take advantage of this opportunity. This Event will kick off on Saturday November 17 at 10:00 in the Rogers Public Library Community Room.
