Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library and Learning Center

This library has excellent summer reading programs. There are incentives for reading books, story times and crafts weekly for all age groups. They have a kitchen and cooking class for children ages 8 and up I think. They have a beautiful garden and greenhouse.
During the summer of 2015 they had a free lunch program Monday through Saturday for ages 1 to 18. It was called ‘Food for Good’ and sponsered by PepsiCo and Arkansas Dream Center. It was excellent because my preschooler’s programs occured twice a week and always happened right before the lunch time. The lunches are very typical of what I feed her and always included a fresh fruit or vegetable and milk. We would take her lunch outside or around back and enjoy some time talking about the activities she had just done.
They have a play area with toys for smaller children that could use some updating. They have computers for children, but I think they should rethink the activities available. It’s mostly just links to like Nike Jr and Suesville which isn’t always easy to navigate for younger children.
We plan to make trips to this library a part of each week of our summer!
