Another magic show at the library? You can't miss this!
Get ready for an artistic, magical journey next summer, as Tommy Terrific goes canvassing through a magical art gallery in his new show, “The Magic of Art”. With the help of his Magical Guidebook, Tommy and the kids perform magic representing different mediums of art, from pencil and paints to crayons and clay. With each trick, they also learn about kid-friendly, classical styles of art, from the Renaissance all the way through Pop Art. So, give your summer a splash of color, and join us as we explore the “Magic of Art”.

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.
