 The Clinton Library, 420 feet in length, cantilevers out towards the Arkansas River, evoking a favorite phrase from Clinton's campaigns in which he often spoke of building a bridge to the twenty-first century. Said the former president at the [[Clinton Presidential Center dedication]] ceremony: "What it is to me is the symbol of not only what I tried to do, but what I want to do with the rest of my life: building bridges from yesterday to tomorrow, building bridges across racial and religious and ethnic and income and political divides - building bridges."

 The library is a glass and steel modernist structure designed by [[James Polshek]] and [[Richard Olcott]]. "The President wanted a building that was both grand and accessible," said Polshek. Clinton also wanted a green building that met [[LEED certification]] standards. [[Polshek Partnership]] originally sited the Library in parallel with the Arkansas River bank. Later, they rotated the building ninety degrees to take advantage of a spectacular view of downtown Little Rock, which includes views of six other bridges across the river.

 ''The Economist'' magazine critized the Library as an example of "trailer home chic," to which the former president responded at a [[Greater Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce]] luncheon: "I guess that's just me, a little bit of red and a little bit of blue," referring to his roots in red-state Arkansas and adopted blue-state New York.
