Are you interested in joining the Gibbons Public Library Board?

Board members can be from Sturgeon County or the Town of Gibbons.

The Library Board has full legislative authority for the management and provision of library service in the municipality. The Board approves annual budgets and has financial oversight of library operations. In addition, the Board determines service objectives for the library that are appropriate to the needs of the community and re-examines them periodically. The Board also develops policies governing library programs and operations in consultation with the library's manager.

The Library Board meets on the first Tuesday of almost every month at 6:30pm in the Program Room at the Library. Members of the public are welcome to drop-in and attend. However, take note that at times, confidential items may need to be discussed and a motion agreed upon by the board may close the meeting to the public.

On behalf of the Gibbons Public Library, we want to express our sincere appreciation to Dolly Parton for her extraordinary commitment to early literacy through the Imagination Library.

The Gibbons Public Library is grateful for the incredible impact the Imagination Library has had on families in our community. Through your generosity, thousands of children have received the gift of books and a love of reading that will last a lifetime.

Her dedication to literacy has changed lives and her legacy will continue to inspire young readers for generations to come.

Thank you, Dolly. 💕

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
