— The Gentry Public Library has recently installed a new Bilingual Early Literacy Station, one of 204 such stations supplied to libraries throughout the state from the Arkansas State Library.

Using the station, children ages 2-10 are able to explore programs in math, science, geography,reading, writing, reference, music and art.

A special feature provides fun and challenge for all ages using programs in English or Spanish.

The service is free and is made possible by a grant from the U. S. Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Arkansas State Library under provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act.
