A Day in the Life of a PBS KID
For nearly 60 years, Arkansas PBS has been a trusted part of your community – bringing stories that educate, inspire and connect us all. But we do much more than deliver quality programming.
Arkansas PBS is committed to four essential public service missions: Education, Public Safety, Community Engagement and Local Storytelling.

When I run into Arkansas PBS viewers around town – whether at the grocery store, coffee shop or community events – (which happens ALL THE TIME, and I love it) it’s always a pleasure to hear about the programs you’re enjoying. I love hearing from you, and even when you share something you’re not as fond of, I’m still eager to hear your feedback.
We are rapidly heading into the gift-giving season, and books are always a great gift for your friends and family who are readers! The PBS Books Readers Club is an amazing place for you to get information on books to give to those you love this holiday season – or to find something to read for yourself!

The holidays are here again! There is no better time and no easier way to show your gratitude for all the gifts of the last 12 months than by helping our neighbors in need to stay warm this winter. How? By making a donation to the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive!
What is the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive?
As summer vacations end, family outings dwindle and school routines return to normal, planning becomes more important for families with the arrival of August. Another important aspect of family planning is estate planning, and August is National Make-A-Will Month.

I’d like to tell you about a young man, one of our audience members, for whom Arkansas PBS is a very important part of his life.
Our Challenge
Arkansas PBS has been issued a challenge to gain 2,500 new members by June 30 in order to receive a challenge fund of $45,000 provided by current donors from the network’s Ambassadors Circle. With only a few days remaining, the network is still 600 new members short of the goal.
