Do you like dragons? Do you like trading cards? Then you'll love Reading Dragons! Join us for fun activities.


Dive into the enchanting world of dragons with this hands-on craft program inspired by our Reading Dragons initiative! In Dragon's Gaze, kids will create their very own dragon eye, combining creativity and a touch of magic. 
The Reading Dragons program encourages kids to read by offering collectible cards featuring dragons, griffins, unicorns, and more fantastical creatures. Caregivers set the reading goals, and as kids hit milestones, they earn these special cards. The more they read, the more magical creatures they collect! 
In Dragon's Gaze, participants will craft a mesmerizing dragon eye that seems to blink, adding a fun and interactive way to bring their favorite creatures to life. This program is a great way to engage with the creatures from the Reading Dragons program while sparking imagination and hands-on creativity. 
Join us for this magical crafting experience and take home a piece of dragon legend while continuing your reading adventure!

About the branch

The Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library & Learning Center includes a computer lab with fourteen computers, teaching kitchen, large activity area, individual and group study rooms, theater, and community room in addition to a collection of more than 21,000 books, DVDs, and CDs.

In the 165-seat theater, children can experience all aspects of theater, including designing and building sets, writing plays, acting, and costume design. The state-of-the-art sound system, lighting, and projection screens is also be used for movies, concerts, and lectures.

The Children’s Library’s grounds are integral to the entire facility’s program. A greenhouse and teaching garden helps children learn about growing healthy foods as well as provide produce that are used in the teaching kitchen programs. The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
