Good to learn about a Presidents work
This was my first visit to any Presidential library. The Clinton Library is on the banks of a river and close to downtown. You could walk or bicycle from the main downtown area. The library has three levels and a ground level. On the third level you can get your picture taken in an oval room replica for a fee. The second floor has the cabinet room. You can sit on the chairs and feel important. The staff are pretty helpful with information and explanations of the various artifacts. I did not have much time, otherwise I would have used their services. It seems it is free. The library is well laid out with many exhibits detailing the Presidential life of Clinton. You have a small theater with a 12 minute film with Clinton as the narrator. The first floor has a nice small gift shop. The ground floor has an upscale bar and restaurant with outdoor seating. I had never known much about lives of Presidents, but this library was a good insight into it. It seems like everything in Little Rock is named after Clinton. The airport, a street a library, you name it. Perhaps the city may be named after him too. It is like the big thing in Little Rock. Not my favorite President, but I was impressed visiting his library. It was a good education and perhaps I may visit other presidential libraries in the future.

Informative Staff - February 2022
I popped in here until it warmed up outside. This was the fourth presidential library that I’ve been to. The history behind the man (or woman one day) is always interesting to me. There’s plenty of parking (free). On my visit, they conducted a temperature scan and made sure you were wearing a mask. There’s a couple floors to this building and a basement area that houses a restaurant (didn’t try). The main floor at the top of the stairs has a small theater that narrates information on the President. This floor also has several theme sections that show how President Clinton was involved or influential. I also liked the recreated White House room. The top floor had just a few displayed items. I liked gazing at the “gifts” section. All the museum workers were very informative. There’s also a small gift shop near the entrance. This place is ADA compliant and has elevators should you need on. In comparison to the other presidential libraries that I’ve visited, this one lacked the volume the others had. But that is not to imply that it’s not worthy. If you stopped and read everything there is on display, you’d be here for hours if not days before you’d be done.
