Bentonville Library

This is the classic. Located inside Bentonville Public Library, this location is serviced on a regular basis throughout Library business hours. If you need a hold in a hurry, this is your best bet. Pickup is only available during Library hours. If you work late or live across town, try one of our other options.


Community Center

Our home away from home. Located inside Bentonville Community Center, this location is serviced twice a week. If you place a hold by closing on Saturday, 5PM, then we will have your hold in those lockers on Tuesday. If you place a hold by closing on Wednesday, 8PM, then you can expect your hold on Friday. This option is perfect if you live on the southwest side of town or in Centerton. You can also pick up your items after a fun day at the Community Center.

 

Outdoor Locker

Open 24/7/365. Located right outside the Library's front doors, this location is perfect for those early birds, night owls and Sunday drivers. Holds sent to this location will be ready for pickup the next day after 12PM. Then, you'll be able to pick up your items any time of day or night, even after the Library closes.
