Hillary Clinton's library
Updated 7/8/2013 at 5:43 pm
(CNN) - Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is getting a library.
Well, kind of.
The Central Arkansas Library System on Monday dedicated the Hillary Rodham Clinton Children's Library and Learning Center in Little Rock.
Clinton marked the ceremony by reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," according to USA Today.
The library system's board of trustees voted in June to name the new library after Clinton, citing her work on children's issues during her tenure as first lady of Arkansas. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, served as governor from 1983 to 1992.
Located on a six-acre site, the 30,000 square foot library cost $12 million and includes a computer lab with 14 computers, as well as a teaching kitchen, theater and more than 21,000 books DVDs and CDs.
The children's library is the latest building in Little Rock to bear the Clinton name. Last year, the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission voted to rename Little Rock National Airport after the state's (and country's) famous former first couple. It's now known as Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.
The William J. Clinton Presidential Center is also located in Little Rock.

so what exactly did she do over 30 years ago? So much i guess that it took 20-30 years to get around to recognizing it. this is a joke.
Just askin: Perhaps it would do you good to actually research the work that Hillary did that was a determining factor in naming the library after her. It did not take 20-30 years to get around to recognizing her work – it only took YOU that long.

Fair, you seem to have a problem with me. You're constantly trying to demean myself and others. Maybe this gets your panties wet but it does nothing for me. Maybe we should refrain from talking to one another.
As for keeping up, maybe you should try. Or at least try growing up.
How wonderful. We are so pleased. The world will be a better place. Will she explain to the children how her husband cheated on her and how life goes on after such an event?
Hillary is the most extraordinary woman of all times! She's the smartest woman in the world and the best leader ever! HILLARY 2016!
