Cottey College Ross Memorial Library The Blanche Skiff Ross Memorial Library serves the students of Cottey College, a small, liberal-arts

The Blanche Skiff Ross Memorial Library was dedicated in October, 1962 to better serve the students of Cottey College. To this day, we endeavor to serve the women of Cottey College with the same generosity Mrs. Ross and her daughters showed by endowing our beautiful building. We strive to make our library a welcoming, comfortable haven for study and intellectual exploration. Come find your own cozy nook to crawl into your books (or to recharge your gadgets and your spirit). We are here to make your years at Cottey College as enriching as possible.

A little love for Dolly showed up on one of our whiteboard tables. ❤️📚

One of our students, Vanessa Nail, created this beautiful tribute to Dolly Parton, and we want to share it with you. Thank you again, Vanessa! 🙂

Dolly gave the world unforgettable music, plenty of sparkle, a whole lot of laughter—and an extraordinary commitment to literacy. Through her Imagination Library, she helped put books into the hands of millions of children and reminded us that reading can open doors, build dreams, and change lives.

That makes her pretty special to us library folks. ❤️

Thank you to the student who left a little Dolly magic behind in Ross Memorial Library.

Rest well, Dolly. Your songs will keep playing, your books will keep arriving, and your legacy will keep inspiring. ✨📖🦋
