The Gateway Project

About the Program

The Gateway Project provides public library service to Central Arkansas residents without charging a non-resident fee to patrons outside a library's service area.

The program was initiated in 1995 as a successful LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act) Development grant for library patrons in Cleveland, Conway, Dallas, Faulkner, Grant, Hot Spring, Lonoke, Perry, Prairie, Pulaski, Saline, Van Buren, and White counties. The program has expanded to include Arkansas, Garland, Jackson, Jefferson, Pike and Pope counties. 57 libraries in these counties currently participate in the program.

Library patrons who are Gateway cardholders have reciprocal borrowing privileges at any of the participating libraries. They have access to a 1.5 million volume collection at no cost.

Eligibility

Cardholders must have a current library card from their home library and be at least 14 years of age. (Age requirements may differ at the participating libraries.)

Cardholders must apply for the Gateway card at their home library in the county in which they reside. Cards must be renewed each year at their home library.

Library patrons must follow the procedures of the system from which materials are borrowed.

Fines and Fees

A $3.00 per item fee will be charged to a cardholder returning materials to a library other than the library at which the materials were checked out.

There will be a $10.00 charge for replacement of a Gateway card. The home library will issue replacement cards.

Materials should be returned on or before the due date. Fines or fees must be paid in order to continue borrowing privileges.
