Remembering Dolly Parton, a champion of early childhood literacy. Her Imagination Library distributed over 332 million books to millions of children since 1995.

Our Summer Reading Program theme this year was "Plant a seed: Read!" and that's exactly why Dolly started her program, saying: "The seeds of these dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world.”

Did you know you can check out Minnesota State Park passes for free at the Glencoe Library?

We’ve collaborated with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to provide free, seven-day state park passes for you to check out and explore any state park and recreation area. Enjoy the sounds of returning songbirds or the sights of spring ephemerals without the financial barrier of a vehicle entrance fee.

To check out a pass, just come to the library! You do not need a library card to check out a parks pass (though library cards are also free, and we'd love to sign you up!) State parks passes are not reservable or renewable.

When you are at the park, make sure to clearly display the pass on your vehicle dashboard. After your visit, just recycle the pass!

These state park passes are provided through the Minnesota State Park Library Program and only cover the vehicle entrance fee. If you’d like to camp, you’ll need to make and pay for those reservations separately.
