🌟 A Note to Our Community 🌟
We love being part of a supportive and engaged community, and we’re grateful for everyone who values the Mahony Family Library. At the same time, our students are our top priority, so we’re making a few updates to how community library access works.
🔑 Here’s what’s new:
• All community members will need to apply for a new library card through our updated process and be approved for continued use.
• Community use is intended primarily for educational purposes so that our SouthArk students have the resources and space they need.
Thank you for your patience as we transition our space into an educational hub. These changes will help keep campus secure and student-focused. 📚✨
