In honor of the Iconic Dolly Parton, Eden Cafe is donating $2 from every beverage sold from now until Saturday to the Richmond Memorial Library for our children's literacy programs.

And so we just had to send our Youth Services department to get drinks for the staff, and support local businesses! Thank you so much Eden Cafe for honoring Dolly by supporting local readers.

If you have a child under 5, you can sign up for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to get free books every month. https://imaginationlibrary.com/check-availability/
