Adult Programs and Services
De Soto Public Library’s mission is to educate, entertain, and empower our community, and our talented staff extend our mission by creating dynamic and informative programs that support literacy, financial security, entrepreneurship, and the arts.
Our staff can help you find the perfect book; we can also show you how to download a new issue of your favorite magazine or encourage you to try something new like painting or writing. We also partner with numerous organizations to offer programs that empower adults, like financial literacy and security, health seminars, computer literacy and much more!
Due to the COVID pandemic, in-person programming has been suspended. Check our online calendar often for updated virtual programs and program descriptions. As soon as it is safe for us to do so, we will resume in-person programming. You can find some of our most popular programs listed below.
