🌳 Rooted in the River Valley 🌳

Across the River Valley, we are fortunate to work alongside schools, community organizations, parks and recreation partners, local governments, workforce agencies, and many others who help strengthen our communities. Together, through these partnerships, we offer programs and experiences to support lifelong learning.

From storytimes to early literacy outreach to community safety programs like self-defense training, these collaborations help bring learning beyond the library walls.

We’d love for our community partners to share and tag themselves so we can highlight and celebrate these collaborations across the River Valley.

Last week marked a big milestone for us! Thanks to Brightspeed, along with the Johnson County Public Library and Johnson County Community Foundation we were able to install our first driving simulator for adult learners! It features a tractor, big rig, and city driving option and allows new and seasoned drivers alike to get behind the wheel without the dangerous conditions.

You can study with our Adult Learning Alliance Engage AR Americorps member Michael and sign up for classes coming soon. Our goal is to get one of these in every county we serve.

Thanks to LC Photography for these great images of the ribbon cutting!
