The Sebastian County Public Library and the Friends of the Library are proud to announce the release of a limitededition commemorative coin celebrating two historic milestones: the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 175th anniversary of Sebastian County. This exclusive coin is being offered as a special fundraiser to support the new Sebastian County Library Project, our largest investment in library services for South Sebastian County since 1965.

Crafted with premium metal and detailed engraving, the coin features patriotic imagery honoring America’s founding alongside symbols representing Sebastian County’s rich heritage. Only a limited number of coins have been produced, making each one a meaningful keepsake for collectors, veterans, community members, and supporters of the library.

“This coin represents more than two anniversaries,” said Rene Myers, Regional Library Director at the Sebastian County Public Library. “It symbolizes the resilience of our nation, the strength of our county, and the shared responsibility we have to lift up our neighbors. Every coin purchased directly supports our work to provide information, services and programming to enrich the lives of our local residents.”

Proceeds from the fundraiser will help advance the new Sebastian County Library Project, a modern, ADA-compliant library located in Greenwood, Arkansas, which will provide increased access to technology, designated spaces for concurrent programming, and outdoor spaces for story time, book clubs, and gardening. 

The coins are reasonably priced, perfect for collectors or gift giving.
