Every book has a journey. At CALS, we curate nearly 800,000 items to reflect and serve our entire community. This video, created by Stone Ward, shows how a book becomes part of our collection—and why libraries remain sanctuaries for ideas. #librariesforeveryone youtu.be/J5ea0NpoknA?...

It was an unforgettable night with authors Louis Sachar and Wright Thompson. Louis talked about his new adult novel and Thompson’s book about Emmett Till called “The Barn” is TIME’s #1 nonfiction book of the year. #sixbridgesbookfestival

Proud of my city tonight as I joined a capacity crowd to hear Wright Thompson talk about his very important book exploring and contextualizing the murder of Emmett Till, The Barn. He made an already thought provoking book even moreso. @arkansassounds.bsky.social @calibrarysystem.bsky.social
