We’re saddened to hear of Dolly Parton’s passing. ❤️

Dolly was a lifelong advocate for reading and literacy. Through her Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, she helped bring books to millions of children, leaving a legacy that will be cherished for generations. 📚

To honor her memory, stop by the library to check out some of her works from our collection:
- Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones – A fun look at her style and life story.
- Run, Rose, Run (co-authored with James Patterson) – A great novel set in the Nashville music scene.
- Good Lookin' Cookin' (with Rachel Parton George) – Filled with southern recipes and stories.
- Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square – A cozy movie featuring her music!
