Today, we take a moment to honor country music legend, literacy advocate, and national treasure, Dolly Parton ❤

We can keep her legacy alive by continuing to share the gift of literacy and helping ensure that every child has access to books, stories, and the joy of reading.

Thank you to Vintage 414 for this opportunity! Any funds raised will go directly into supporting the communities we serve through literacy programs and materials - just as Dolly did through her Imagination Library program and other endeavors. Thank you, ladies, for always being supportive of the library!

Trying to give back in honor of someone who gave us all so much! Come drink up and support our local library! Dorchester Co Public Library

Disclaimer: The drink shall not be altered as it was originally designed to be strong and well deserved after a long day of work. You are more than welcome to donate to the library through us if you don’t think you’ll like the drink. But we think it’s beautiful, just like Dolly.

Whether you turned the pages or watched the screen, we'd love to hear what you thought of "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt! 📚🐙

Join us at the Hurlock branch for Chapters and Chat and enjoy a relaxed, friendly discussion filled with great conversation, fresh perspectives, and fellow book lovers.
