Library Launches "Princh" Print From Anywhere Service
Through the Princh service users are able to send a print job to the library from anywhere. All that is needed is an Internet connection. You can then pay for your print job with a debit/credit card or through a Paypal account. Users of the service can still pay with cash at the front desk if they want. Download the app here or go to their website to send a print job to the library. Contact Jeff Beavers for more information. Visit this website to use the service without downloading the app.
Teen Movie Night, Happiest Season, Rated PG-13, Thursday, December 9th at 5:30 PM
Teens (age 13+) are invited to join us for a movie, popcorn, and snacks!

For those interested, a short discussion hosted by Conway Library's Teen Leadership Council and Genders & Sexuality Alliance will follow the film.

About the movie:

"Meeting your girlfriend's family for the first time can be tough. Planning to propose at ther family's annual Christmas dinner - until you realise that they don't even know she's gay - is even harder. When Abby (Kristen Stewart) learns that Harper (Mackenzie Davis) has kept their relationship secret from her family, she begins to question the girlfriend she thought she knew. HAPPIEST SEASON is a holiday romantic comedy that hilariously captures the range of emotions tied to wanting your family's acceptance, being true to yourself, and trying not to ruin Christmas."
Reflections on 2021 . . . .
Hi, this is David Smolen. I'm the Director of the Library and have been for nearly nine years. I want to take this opportunity to thank the staff for a great year. I'm very proud of them and their many accomplishments. As we all know, 2021 have been an all pandemic year and the staff have done a great job navigating the many challenges this has posed. I feel privileged knowing them all and working with them.

I also want to thank the Library Trustees and the Friends of the Conway Public Library for their ongoing support of the staff and the institution itself. The Trustees function as an important sounding board for me and I appreciate their ongoing wise council. The Friends have been very supportive of the various strategic efforts the library has been engaged in over the last year. I thank them for being huge advocates for the library!

We wish you a happy holiday season and we look forward to seeing you in 2022!
