Exciting News for Clinton Residents: New Library Grand Opening Approaches!

Hey there, Clinton! Get ready to mark your calendars and celebrate because something great is coming to town! The brand-new Clinton Library is all set to open its doors at 304 W. Pitts Street on Sunday, April 27 at 3 PM. This shiny new hub of knowledge is sure to become the heart of our community!

Now, before we can revel in the festivities, there are a few important dates to remember. The current Clinton Library—located next to Ace Hardware on Jacobs Highway—will be temporarily closing its doors starting on April 14. This closure is to facilitate the big move to the new library space, so patrons should plan accordingly. Unfortunately, this means that all library programs and services in Clinton will be paused until April 28. We know how important these services are, so it’s a bummer, but it’s just temporary!

So what does that mean for you? If you were looking to take advantage of services like printing, scanning, faxing, or even notary services, you’ll have to hold off until the new library is ready. However, for those still needing to print from their devices, don’t fret! You can still send your documents to scanlcpl@gmail.com, and the library will assist you with that. This is a great little workaround until we can all enjoy the new space.

But here’s a silver lining to the closure—let’s talk about the weather expected on April 14! It looks like it will be a gorgeous day with sunny skies and temperatures peaking at a warm 86°F and dipping to a cozy 63°F in the evening. Very fitting for the beginning of a new chapter in our community!

Do You Remember the Old Library’s Opening Day?

Speaking of history, did you know that the original Clinton Library opened its doors on November 18, 2004, amid heavy rain? It was a star-studded event attended by celebrities and even former Presidents! Since then, the library has become a major tourism hotspot, boasting an impressive over 5 million visitors! It’s incredible to think just how vital this space has become for our community and visitors alike.

What’s in Store with the New Library?

With the grand opening right around the corner, the excitement is palpable! The new library will feature not just casual reading areas but will also house the personal archives of Hillary Rodham Clinton among other expansions designed to enhance community engagement. Imagine new spaces for community events, art exhibits, and educational programs that empower residents to learn and grow.

The library will also showcase incredible features such as touchscreen displays, replicas of the Oval Office and Cabinet Room, and even electronic tickers detailing Clinton’s accomplishments. This renovation aims to update exhibits to provide new perspectives on crucial decisions made during the Clinton administration while adding a sprinkle of modern technology to the mix.

Although specific timelines and costs for this fantastic expansion aren’t available just yet, the anticipation builds as we await this new addition, which will serve as a centerpiece of a stunning 29-acre park—a space that has transformed from a warehouse district to a thriving community hub that includes the University of Arkansas’ Clinton School of Public Service.

As we approach the library’s grand opening, let’s get ready for a series of events, including discussions about Bill Clinton’s memoir. It’s likely to be a fabulous celebration commemorating not just a new building, but the journey of learning and community spirit it represents.

We can hardly wait for everyone to explore the new Clinton Library, so don’t forget to join us for the grand opening on April 27. Here’s to new beginnings and exciting adventures ahead!
