Compassionate. Kind. Dedicated. We at the Jefferson Public Library are remembering the incomparable Dolly Parton, a woman that was larger than life with a legacy that cannot be overstated 🦋🌈

Her commitment to early literacy, particularly in regards to its importance in being accessible to rural children and families, will always hold a dear place in our hearts.

We invite you to visit the Youth Department to see her book display and, in accordance with the wishes of her family, learn more about and considering donating to or signing up for the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library at: https://www.jefferson.lib.ia.us/departments/children/dolly-partons-imagination-library

As our kiddos go back for their first day of school, we wanted to take a second to thank our daycare providers who spent the whole summer with them and with us at the library!

Natural Wonders Learning Center and The Children's Center are long-time library friends and collaborators. We love working with their teams and kids 💕

Have a great first day back to school, everyone! We'll see you soon.
