- Supporting library programs such as BPL’s Annual Summer Reading Program, Bentonville’s Youth Literature Festival, Library Book Clubs, and Bentonville GeekCon
- Offering scholarships to local graduating high school seniors who support the library
- Supporting professional development opportunities for library staff
- Purchasing magazines for BPL at the Community Center
- Purchasing materials and furnishings for the library
The Friends of the Library holds monthly meetings, usually at 6:00pm on the first Monday of the month in the Rotary Conference Room.
