Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – Our nextdoor neighbor, the Clinton Presidential Library, launched a new brochure today to promote the “Billgrimage” tour of Clinton-related sites throughout Arkansas. Library director Terri Garner also discussed possible exhibit changes to freshen up the museum. Click here for an Associated Press story about possible changes. Here’s an excerpt:
The permanent exhibits at the Clinton Presidential Library could be revamped or entirely changed as the landmark dedicated to the former president’s time in office approaches its fifth anniversary, the facility’s director said Tuesday.
Library director Terri Garner said discussions have begun about how best to showcase Bill Clinton’s pursuits since leaving office in January 2001. That could include displays about work done by the William J. Clinton Foundation, which focuses on HIV/AIDS prevention and environmental policy.
Then there’s also the matter of his wife, Hillary, and her own political career in the years since.
“You have to be a little bit careful because this is a library about his presidency,” Garner said. “However, there needs to be an aspect of the ongoing post-presidency as well.”
