Hillary Clinton gets a Little Rock library

The library in Little Rock honoring Bill Clinton's presidency is no longer the only one bearing the family name. Hillary Rodham Clinton has a library in the Arkansas capital to call her own.

The former U.S. and Arkansas first lady read The Very Hungry Caterpillar at the ceremony Monday to celebrate the Hillary Rodham Clinton Children's Library and Learning Center. The Central Arkansas Library System voted June 27 to name the facility after the longtime children's advocate and potential 2016 presidential candidate.

Bobby Roberts, director of the library system, told public radio station UALR that the Hillary Clinton library is a "great fit."

"This has been a cause of hers and a consistent cause for many, many years and a lot of good things that have happened in Arkansas, really you can trace back, I think, to some of her work and some of her advocacy with children," Roberts is quoted as saying.

The Arkansas Times says it's a big day for the Clinton family in their old stomping grounds.
