Here is the place to find out what events and programs we offer here at the Oxford Public Library. We want to be a place that is something more than what the standard Library is thought to be. We want to be the cultural center of the community, and bring to all of our patrons programs, events, and opportunities that make a difference. We strive to offer something for everyone. From preschoolers to adults. We are very proud of our Annual, and Special programs through the year. Below are just a few of the programs we offer.

Outreach Programs
Below are just a few of the programs that we have brought to the community over the past year. We are excited to bring such talented performers here to Benton County to give the youth in our area the opportunity to see entertainment they might not otherwise ever experience. Here are just a few people that have shared their talents with us with the links to their websites so you can get better acquainted with them.
