Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

"Before he passed away, my Daddy told me the Imagination Library was probably the most important thing I had ever done."
🦋💖💎

Dolly Parton started her Imagination Library in 1995 to inspire a love of reading in children. 31 years later, the Imagination Library spans 5 countries and gifts millions of books each month.

"Let's share this dream that all children should grow up in a home full of books."
🦋💖💎

If you have children 0-5, sign up for the Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com or stop by the library for our informational brochure

End of Dino Summer

Dino Summer is OVER! Everyone here at the library hopes you all had fun this summer with all our dino themed events and activities. We know we did!

And now that it's over, we would like to give an enormous THANK YOU to everyone who donated this summer; whether that be financially, with prizes, treats, or your time!!

A library is only as good as its community. We couldn't do what we do every summer without all of you who participate in our programs and help us out in all the ways you do!

1000 Books Before Program Make-Over

 

Our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program is getting a make-over! 🌱This is a FREE, no hassle, nation-wide program to encourage parents to read at least one book daily to their children from birth through age 5. Come by the library any day to sign up! If your child is already signed up, bring them in to have their photo added to our Reading Tree!

Once your child is part of the program, we celebrate every 100 books with a picture posted on our Reading Tree and on Facebook. Every book counts! Even if it is the same book over and over and over again!
