We are saddened by the loss of Dolly Parton. We remember her for her Imagination Library and all it does to promote reading to children.
“Here in Arkansas, Dolly’s legacy lives in every book delivered, every story shared and every child inspired to dream. More than 82,000 Arkansas children currently receive an Imagination Library book each month, and more than 7 million books have been delivered to children across our state since 2005.”—Arkansas Imagination Library

Our library received this lovely note from Ellen Webster of New Jersey! She has written over 13,000 thank-you notes in the past decade to family, friends, strangers, and businesses across the country as part of her Thank-You Note Project. Reading her kind words was a great way for our staff to start their day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Unearth & Imagine: A Story in Every Box! Your creativity, enthusiasm, and imagination made our Faux Bloom Box program such a wonderful experience.

It was a joy to see each unique bloom box come to life and to share stories, ideas, and inspiration together. We hope you had as much fun creating as we did hosting.

Thank you for being part of our library community. We can't wait to see you at our next event! 🌸📚
