A salute to the incomparable Dolly Parton, whose passion for helping children discover the joy of reading lives on through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Families with children under 5 can register at imaginationlibrary.com and receive a free book by mail every month. What a legacy!

Thank you to the Hamilton County Council, The CenterPoint Energy Foundation, and Hamilton County Community Foundation for helping make this program possible for Hamilton County families.

We will be performing system maintenance from midnight until approximately 8am on Thursday, August 20.

Our Parent/Teacher collection at the Main Library has a helpful section of children's "bibliotherapy" books that can help kids understand and cope with feelings, challenges, or life experiences. Topics include getting a new sibling, losing a pet, and starting school. Our library staff are happy to help find a title that's a good fit, so don't hesitate to ask!

Our next Foundation Friends book sale will be happening in early October, so now would be a great time to donate your gently used books. You can find complete donation details at carmelclaylibrary.org/donate-books.

UPDATE: Due to flood damage, Prather Park, the location of this StoryWalk, is currently closed.

It's turning out to be a rather soggy week, but if you're looking to get out of the house (especially with antsy little ones), head to Prather Park to check out our newest StoryWalk. It features the picture book "I Got Rhythm," and you can enjoy it there through August 24. Thanks to Hamilton County Parks and Recreation for hosting!
