Zion-Benton Public Library

What do you geek? What you geek is what you’re passionate about.  And whatever that is, the Public Library supports you as you pursue that passion.

• The library geeks success.   We help people find jobs with career information and online applications. We help people start businesses.
• The library geeks the Web.  Our computers are available 56 hours a week, for free.  The wireless network is available all the time, for free.
• The library geeks discovery.  We help you find the information about what you geek: financial advice, travel pointers, genealogy, and good books to read.
• The library geeks kids.  We have storytimes, afterschool programs, and online homework help.
• The library geeks community.    People use meeting rooms and study rooms; enjoy coffee at ZBistro; and meet friends and neighbors in the lobby.

This year, more than ever, the library needs YOUR support.  Your contribution to the Partners in Reading campaign will fund library programs and resources that make life better – for you, for your neighbors, and for our whole community.
