UPDATE:
As of Tuesday, Jan. 11, the library is currently out of tests.
They expect another shipment on Thursday, Jan 13, 2022.
You must call to reserve your tests.
The Saline County Library had Covid-19 tests for a limited time at their Benton and Bryant branches, but ran out almost immediately. Do not enter the library if you are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms.
Covid-19 tests were made available throughout Arkansas at libraries and Department of Health units, as the result of a nationwide test distribution.
When/if more tests become available, each person may pick up one box, or there is a limit of 3 boxes per household. Each box contains 2 tests. These are at-home tests. The library will not be administering the tests.
The tests are at no cost for Saline County residents to pick up. They will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is a limited number of tests.
To ask about tests, call 501-778-4766 for the Benton branch or 501-847-2166 for the Bryant branch.
Reporting results to the ADH is optional, but those who test positive should consult with a physician for the next steps.
