The Main Library, which is located at 100 Rock Street in the River Market District, is so named because it is the largest component of the Central Arkansas Library System. This 132,000-square-feet library has been making thousands of books, periodicals, and audiovisual resources available to people in the Little Rock area since it opened in 1997. Membership to this library system can be easily obtained, and borrowed items may be returned through any of the system’s many branches.

The library building was once the Fones Brothers Warehouse, but now, in its converted form, it is an unmistakable jewel in the downtown area. Its moldings are cast with the names of famous authors, from William Shakespeare to Dr. Seuss, and its small garden courtyard displays an impressive statue depicting the flight of Daedalus and Icarus. Various other displays and works of art can be found throughout the library.

Main Library provides wireless internet, computer courses, and a number meeting rooms to the public. It also houses the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies and the Sturgis Center for Technology Training.
