The library was reconstructed in 2005 to better meet our students' needs.
 

In 2005, the library was reconstructed to better meet our students' needs. During this time, a Children's Library and Book Room were created. The Book Room houses Guided Reading, Shared Reading, Read Aloud, and Interactive Read Aloud materials. Most of the funding to create this room was provided by the Hendrix Murphy Foundation and Odyssey Program in order to establish the Hendrix Early Literacy Program (HELP), a lab classroom at Sallie Cone Elementary School in Conway, Arkansas, for Hendrix education majors to work directly with children. 


The Computer Lab 

The Computer Lab

 The Lab
The Department Computer Lab features 6 computers for students to use.
 

The six-station computer lab is primarily for education candidates to use for their study purposes, but it is occasionally used by the education courses if the study of a specific topic benefits from all being on-line simultaneously. To better meet our students' schedules, the computers were moved into the main library in 2005. Students are now capable of accessing these computers during the evening hours.
