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.

The Library is expanding STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) programming for all ages including coding and the iPads can be used for robotics programming. The adult department is in the process of increasing computer literacy classes and receives regular inquiries on help setting up and downloading our services, especially Library2Go, RBDigital and the Tutor.com products.   

Outreach

Outreach

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.

Online Resources

Online Resources

Tutor.com—live homework assistance and test support. This important educational resource is utilized by students of all ages. Registration continues to increase as online learning becomes a key factor in improving the level of education for area residents. We have been working with the elementary schools to attend open houses and talk about our resources. Library staff have gone to the high schools and demonstrated and talked about online resources. Tutor.com is always one we highlight and is gaining in popularity.
