We’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the huge contribution Dolly Parton has made to children with her love of literacy. Founded in 1995, her Imagination Library has gifted over 330 million books worldwide. Dolly’s literacy legacy will continue through this generous program. Parents and grandparents can sign up using the link below.
Thank you, Dolly, we will always love you! 💓

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free books to children from birth until they begin school in participating areas.

On Wednesday September 9th at 10 am story time will begin again. Story time is for kids of all ages Traci reads a story, Heidi leads them in a craft, and we send them home with a small snack. Several of the parents stay a little longer and let the kids play and look through the books. We have kiddos from ages 0-5 attend story time. It’s great social time!

We just realized we didn’t post anything after our school supply give away! Oops! Thank you so much to our very generous community! With the help of Osage County, KS Sheriff's Office ,Carbondale Police Department, and you the community we gather lots of amazing supplies. With the help of 10 volunteers that Saturday morning we handed out supplies to about 120 kids, and took extra supplies to the schools. Thank you everyone for helping our Trail kids start the year off right!
