Sanders Library (CALS) — Monthly Bonsai Program with the Central Arkansas Bonsai Society

Category: Learning Also called: Central Arkansas Bonsai Society at Sanders Library; CALS bonsai program; Amy Sanders Library bonsai (Sherwood, AR) Last checked: 2026-10-19

What it is

The Sanders Library bonsai program is a recurring, public bonsai class at the Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) Sanders Library, 10200 Johnson Drive, Sherwood, Arkansas. The library’s own event calendar describes it as a “monthly program where anyone can learn about the art of Bonsai from members of the Central Arkansas Bonsai Society. All are welcome, no experience required!” Sessions run on Saturdays, 10:00 AM–1:00 PM, in the library’s meeting room.

Who it’s for

Beginners in the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Sherwood area who want to learn bonsai from local club members, and families. CALS tags the program for adults and families under Science & Nature and Arts/Crafts.

Why it’s listed

It is a real, repeating program on a public library’s own calendar, with dates, times, a room and a teaching group, so it stays useful longer than a one-off workshop. The CALS calendar was checked on 2026-10-19:

  • Next session: Saturday, November 14, 2026, 10:00 AM–1:00 PM, Sanders Library meeting room.
  • Recent sessions on the same calendar: Saturday, October 10; Saturday, September 12; and monthly Saturdays from February 14 through July 11, 2026 (February 14, March 14, April 11, May 9, June 13, July 11), all 10:00 AM–1:00 PM.
  • Who teaches: members of the Central Arkansas Bonsai Society.
  • Cost and sign-up: the event pages list no fee and no registration; they say all are welcome and no experience is required.
  • Accessibility: CALS asks people who need ASL interpretation or other accommodations to contact its accessibility coordinator seven business weekdays before the program.

Dates are what the calendar showed on the check date. They change.

Notes

  • Category is Learning: a recurring public class on a library system’s calendar, taught by a local bonsai club.
  • December is not posted yet. The only future session found on the calendar was November 14; each event page covers one date, so the official URL will need updating after November 14. Every posted session has been on the second Saturday of the month; no August 2026 date was found.
  • The Central Arkansas Bonsai Society has no working website of its own (centralarkansasbonsai.com did not resolve), so this listing cites the library’s pages only.
  • Arkansas is a new state for this directory. FL, CT, MI, GA, VT, MA, NJ, OK and DE were avoided.
  • Listing image: the Central Arkansas Library System’s own og:image (CALS logo on a dark building photo, social-cals.jpg), 1200×630, JPEG converted to PNG and saved as cals-sanders-library-bonsai-program.png. The event pages have no og:image, and the club has no logo online.
  • Not affiliated with Bonsai Plaza. No registration, contact or form was used.
