Maker Space LabLearn about the anatomy of a honeybee! Get an up-close look at a honeybee through a magnifying lens or microscope.
At the Children’s Library, we love our honeybees. They are very small and very fast, though. That makes it hard and a little scary to get a close look at them. This month, the Kids’ Bee Club will take a closer look at our (deceased) honeybees under magnifying lenses and microscopes to learn about the anatomy of a honeybee! This will be a very safe way to learn about our six-legged friends.

Children's Library
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.
