This afternoon, the Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) dedicated the Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library and Learning Center with a series of activities for kids that included Hillary herself reading to the kids and a petting event in cooperation with the Little Rock Zoo. Here are some twitpics shared by the City of Little Rock.
Here are a few articles from local news organizations. The first, from Arkansas Online, has a brief video.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Little Rock on Monday as the newest children’s library in Arkansas was dedicated in her honor.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library, which opened in March, was packed with more than a thousand patrons for the ceremony, including former President Bill Clinton.
While visiting the library, Hillary took a brief tour of the facility, read to a group of children and finished with a press conference, where she expressed her gratitude for the honor and for those who attended.

Brian Chilson LIBRARY NAMESAKE: Hillary Clinton reads to the crowd gathered for the naming of the new children’s library in her honor.Hillary Rodham Clinton was front and center to read a children’s book when the new children’s branch of the Central Arkansas Library System was dedicated in her honor today. She read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” If they ever name a library for me, I’ll read “Hop on Pop.” (PS: I’m not counting on the opportunity.)
Big day for the Clinton family today. Mrs. Clinton will be joined by the former president and their daughter, Chelsea, at a reception tonight for the Oscar de la Renta exhibit at the Clinton Presidential Center. Mr. Clinton is expected to attend a Human Rights Campaign reception at the Arkansas Arts Center with the HRC’s leader, Arkansas native Chad Griffin, who worked on Clinton’s staff and is the point man for a growing national movement to bring equality to gay people.

How very appropriate, since she worked so hard to improve education in Arkansas when Bill was Governor. And, as we know, she has always been dedicated to children’s causes, in general.
She looks fantastic in the pics. Thanks, Still.
