Central Arkansas Library System View Charity Profile
Friends of Central Arkansas Libraries (FOCAL) is a nonprofit group interested in books and libraries whose purpose is to support the Central Arkansas Library System. FOCAL volunteers work in programs raising money through book sales, River Market Books & Gifts, the library’s “gently read” book store and membership. With funds generated through these projects FOCAL sponsors programs like Summer Reading Club, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF - distributing free books to school children), Read To Me (supplying books to newborns and toddlers when their parents register them for a library card), storytelling, music and puppet shows at the Main Library and many public programs at CALS’s twelve branches. Last year FOCAL donated nearly $50,000 to the Central Arkansas Library System.
