Celebrate National Letter to Your Elder Day by creating a heartfelt letter or card for an older adult in your life—or for a community elder who could use a smile. All ages are welcome to drop in, write, decorate, and spread a little kindness.
Join us in honoring National Letter to Your Elder Day with a community-wide card-making event for all ages. Participants can write a thoughtful note to a grandparent, neighbor, mentor, or any older adult who has made a difference in their life. We’ll also have the option to create general “thinking of you” cards that the library will share with local elders who could use a cheerful message.
We’ll provide all the supplies—stationery, stickers, markers, and more—so you can focus on creating something meaningful. Whether you write a letter of gratitude, share a favorite memory, or simply brighten someone’s day, this drop-in activity is a wonderful way to spread warmth and connection.
AGE GROUP: | Pre-teens ages 9-12 | Kids ages 6-8 |

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.
