Salina Public Library values staff who are lifelong learners, conscientious of the needs of the community and eager to serve the public.

SPL serves the greater Salina area and is located on the north end of the city’s beautiful, revitalized downtown. The library checks out half a million items annually to 35,000 cardholders. The building sees, on average, 10,000 visitors a month. We deliver to child care, homebound patrons and assisted living facilities. Programming is offered to support patrons’ exploration of a wide range of topics from traditional storytimes and book clubs to art exhibits, technology and much more.
