Children's Library Initiative



The Children’s Initiative is intended to provide learning enrichment opportunities for the children, youth, and families of Little Rock through partnerships, innovative collaborations, programs, and new, relevant ideas for learning. The effort will assist children and young people: graduate from high school, prepare for meaningful jobs and ongoing education, and become the next generation of democratic citizens working to improve the quality of life in the neighborhood, in the city, in the state, in the nation, and across the globe.
