📚💗 Celebrating Dolly Parton: A Champion for Children, Literacy & Giving

Few people have used their success to lift up others quite like Dolly Parton.

Through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, Dolly has helped put millions of books into the hands of children around the world—giving young readers the chance to build their own home libraries and discover the joy of reading from an early age. What began as a program inspired by her father, who could not read or write, has grown into a global literacy movement.

But Dolly’s impact reaches far beyond books. Her philanthropy has supported education, disaster relief, health care, childhood development, and communities in times of need. From donating millions of books to funding scholarships and supporting families affected by disasters, she has consistently turned compassion into action.

Her message is simple but powerful: books can open doors, and kindness can change lives.

As a public library, we see every day how access to books and opportunities can shape a child's future. Dolly Parton reminds us that literacy isn't simply about learning to read—it's about giving people the tools to dream, imagine, learn, and grow.

Today, we're celebrating Dolly not only as an entertainer, but as a champion of literacy, generosity, and the transformative power of a good book. 📖✨

🌸🌷Our latest Creative Crafters program was blooming with creativity! 🌷🌸

Participants got to create their own beautiful flower arrangements, choosing colors, flowers, and greenery to make an arrangement all their own. 💐

We loved seeing everyone’s creativity come to life and, of course, we think the finished arrangements turned out absolutely gorgeous! 🥰

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an afternoon of crafting, conversation, and flowers.

We can’t wait to see what we create together next! ✂️🌿
