Welcome
 Sink Library offers a host
of services. First-time visitors can apply for library cards at the
main desk in the entrance lobby. Circulation staff process requests
for library cards from new customers in a matter of minutes. A photo
ID proving an individual’s status is all that is needed to
get a library card. Sink Library usage is open to active-duty military
and their family members, military retirees, civilian employees and
contractors and students enrolled in the programs at the Army Education
Center.
The Reference Room has eighteen
computers providing Internet access, a computer devoted to word-processing,
a CD burner, a scanner and three terminals designed to keep children
occupied while their parents work on projects.
Sink Library has a collection
of nearly 70,000 volumes. Titles in the collection cover every conceivable
subject area. While the aim of the facility is to provide the Fort
Campbell community with the equivalent of a general public library
found in Anytown USA, the collection is understandably strong in
military history and topics of interest to the soldier and his or
her family. The Acquisitions Librarian sees to it that the latest
best-sellers are available for check-out. Patrons can request titles
they would like to see added to the collection.

Library Calendar and Happenings
Storytime is held every Thursday at 1030AM and 130PM for preschoolers.
The library’s preschool Craft Time Program takes place every Thursday at 1100 and 1400 hours. Because the library’s annual Summer Reading Program is scheduled for Thursday mornings in July, the 1100 hours craft time sessions will be temporarily suspended until Thursday, August 9. Craft Time will continue to take place every Thursday in July at 1330 hours.
Story Time will continue every Thursday as usual at 1030 and 1330 hours with no suspension of any sessions.
Sink Library has Free Books for Soldiers
Sometimes a good book is the best way to wind down at the end of a stressful day or pass the time during a long wait. While some may prefer a good love story, others need a comedy or even some science fiction to help them escape the daily grind.
Starting now, the R.F. Sink Library is offering free books for Soldiers who are deployed or deploying. These brand new paperback books are organized into Book Kits and will be given out to any Unit with Soldiers deploying or already deployed. These kits contain an assortment of fiction and non fiction books. To get these free book kits for your Unit, send a Unit representative to the R. F. Sink Library at 38 Screaming Eagle Boulevard and the friendly staff will help load the appropriate number of kits into your vehicle. Units who are already deployed can also take advantage of this great program by sending an email to Karen.murphy@us.army.mil and putting "book kit request" in the subject line.
For additional information on the Book Kit Program, contact the R.F.
Sink Library at (270)798-4827.
