Dewey's Café

Dewey's Café

All your favorite coffees, teas, and specialty drinks along with great sandwiches, salads, baked goods, and snacks are available at Dewey’s Café at the Main Library. Owned and operated by the Fort Smith Public Library and open all the hours the Main Library is open, all sales at Dewey’s directly benefit the library.

Dewey’s Café opened in 2010, and the library assumed operation in February 2011.  Funding for the construction of the café and ongoing support is provided by the generosity of the Fort Smith Public Library Endowment Trust.

The café is a great place to grab a coffee or a bite to eat while meeting with friends, reading, or studying. Open Mic Night is a regular event every third Thursday at 7 p.m. (except in December).
