Learn about honey bees and beekeeping, using the library bees as our laboratory. We'll try a different activity each month.
There’s a long history of Black beekeeping traditions in the United States! We’ll learn about some of them, like the Black Lady Beekeepers of the Tuskegee Institute, the beehive that First Lady Michelle Obama set up at the White House, and the work of urban beekepers at Detroit Hives, while we brush up on our own honey bee knowledge.
Today's hours
We're open 9:00AM to 6:00PM
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.
