Rogers Public Library Foundation Charity Profile

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) EIN 71-0801877) 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.

Rogers Public Library Foundation Volunteer Information

Volunteer assignments are varied and include both one-time and ongoing projects for the Foundation, Friends, and the Library.

The Library Foundation needs volunteers to help on in the office with special projects, on our committees and at events like our Spelling BEE, Literary License and Author Series.

Adult volunteers are needed in the Children's Library at this time. Teen volunteers are utilized all year round, but especially during the summer when our Reading Program is in full swing. Teen volunteer applicants must be at least 13 years old, and able to work 3 hours per week. Our Summer Reading Program uses approximately 100 volunteens and begins in May of each year.

The Friends operate an all-volunteer used book store, The Friendly Book Store, at 206 S. 2nd St. in downtown Rogers. Shifts vary and are dependent upon skills and your schedule.
