A Classic and Modern Library
Quite simply, BPL is a beautiful library, made even more spectacular with our expansion that opened in October 2024. A signature building in the Downtown Bentonville landscape, it embodies Bentonville's civic values and conveys a sense of wonder, expectation, and discovery.
Originally built in 2006 and expanded in 2023, the Bentonville Public Library features two eras of Library history: classic small-town hospitality with the technological upgrades of a global community. The 61,295 square-foot building features indoor and outdoor spaces for an array of individual, small group, and large group purposes, cozy but also technologically integrated.
Our local and digital collections include books and video for every taste as well as our Library of Things like tools, tech, and activities, all carefully selected to serve our community. Programming focuses on meeting the informational, entertainment, and social needs of our patrons and connecting local organizations to engage our current and future community.
