Thank you, Dolly, for your love of ALL people, and ALL things BOOKS! Your Imagination Library has introduced so many children to the love of stories, and what reading can do for ANYONE. Our hearts are sad that you are gone, but you have left this world a better place. If you swing by the library, we have displayed a few of Dolly's works for you to peruse and/or check out. Remember, anyone can stop in and get a library card! They are totally FREE if you live in Douglas County, and only $15 per family if you live outside the county. Please make sure to bring with you proof of your physical address, and Bennett or Bethany can get you all set up! We love you, Dolly! 🦋🎵🎶❤️💔

Hi everyone! Happy Independence Day!! Just a quick reminder: if you need to drop books off after hours in the book return, please make sure that your book actually drops into the return. If you are having difficulty inserting the book into the drop box, it is most likely full. Shoving books through when it is already full damages them. Thank you for being considerate and helping us to keep our costs down on book repairs. Have a great weekend everyone!
