Arbyrd Community Library

The Biggest Little Free Library in the Missouri Bootheel

The Arbyrd Community Library was established in 2015 by the Arbyrd Community Development Corporation to fill a gap in access to library resources.


As the only small town in Dunklin County without a branch of the county library system, Arbyrd took action to create a place where residents could read, learn, and connect.


The library is located inside the conference room of the Arbyrd Municipal Building, right in the heart of our community.

Books & More

Books and More

The library provides reading materials for all ages, from children’s books to young adult and adult fiction, non-fiction, and a wide range of genres.


Visitors also have access to the Delta Dunklin Democrat newspaper and digital resources.


Public computer access is available on site, including a laptop with direct internet connection and free Wi-Fi for visitors.

Community Supported

The Arbyrd Community Library exists for the community and by the community. All materials, including books, furnishings, and services, have been made possible through donations of money, books, and time from local supporters.

A Big Little Free Library

The library began as a single bookshelf in the hallway of City Hall and has grown through the generosity of our residents.


Now a registered Little Free Library, it operates on a simple principle:


Take a book, leave a book.


There are no membership requirements, due dates, or fines. It is simply a shared commitment to keep reading materials circulating.


Donations of books or funds are always welcome to help keep the shelves full and the lights on.

Mission

The mission of the Arbyrd Community Library is to provide equal access to information for all residents.


Following the guidelines of the American Library Association (ALA), the library upholds principles of:

  • Equal access to knowledge
  • Protection of patron privacy
  • Literacy improvement
  • Advocacy for intellectual freedom

Support the Library

The Arbyrd Community Library and the Arbyrd Community Development Corporation are currently raising funds to purchase additional computers to offer digital literacy classes, tutoring, and educational programs.


Your contribution helps us continue providing learning opportunities for everyone in Arbyrd.
