Enhancing Lives
The Rogers Public Library Foundation was established in 1997 and continues its foundational vision of generating private-sector support to supplement tax-based funding for the Rogers Public Library. The result is improved collections, expanded programs, and enhanced services.
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 area and the Rogers Public Library by donating to the Foundation.

We provide flash drives containing instructional information about library services especially online resources with links to the services. Includes information about our databases to use at schools and community outreach and to be able to give this resource to teachers and other education providers. They can be used by educators for group presentations as we work to increase the development of Niche Academy and add resources to this online product and customize more for some of our products. Our organization has helped develop Rogers Public Library educational brochures.

Tutor.com is always one we highlight and is gaining in popularity.
